Description Frank Bergemann

Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

i would like to switch on 
<Project>/
 Properties 
  C/C++ Build's tab Behavior's
    "Use parallel build" / "use optimal jobs number"
as a default, but i can't select it in 
Window/
 Preferences/
  C/C++/
   Build/

It's only available for project specific Properties.
So i have to set it for each project individually.

rgds,
Frank

I'd like to add on this that it makes much more sense to specify the number of parallel jobs for the workspace and not for the project, as the optimal number depends on the processor. This is much more likely related to the workspace (except for shared file systems) than for the project.
