The IDE Eclipse Helios present having an issue related to “Build before Launch”. Even after unchecking the checkbox, it still tries to build the entire application whenever the IDE is started. I request you to please look into this issue and how to fix this  


Reproducible: Always

What kind of build is happening (Java, C/C++, etc)?

Some exact steps? Test project / launch configuration that causes the problem?

Could be related to bug 327446

The same issue appear to me with
Version: 3.6.2
Build id: M20110112-0800

I run an external program (windows bat) and I notice that IDE always wait for build before launching command even if I uncheck the checkbox.

External tool builders belong to Ant.

Testing on 3.7 this works for me. 

Just to confirm, when you refer to 'un-checking the checkbox' are you referring to the one on the Run/Debug > Launching preference page or the one on the Build tab of the launch configuration?

The second one, the build tab on the launch configuration
I run an external program via "External Tools Configurations", not an Ant build in this case. It's the same ?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
