Selected the problem happens.

Blocking build used to be one of the annoyances and I am glad that it is finally removed.

I experience same problem. When running Project->Build All I can not save the files. "Build All" is a blocking operation. When I start build with "Project Build" I can save files while build is running in the background. 

As a workaround I reassigned key Ctrl+B to invoke Project Compilation instead of Build All. I have a single project and it is the same in my case. 


My setup: "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers 1.4.0.20110615-0550 epp.package.cpp". This is a clean installation right from the download page. No additional plugins.

Hi,

Is there a chance supporting this for Juno release?

Thanks,

It looks unlikely, unfortunately. A patch/gerrit would help, though.

Is this issue being looked at? I work in an environment where we use eclipse with a very large project. It's quite annoying when attempting to save while the auto build is going ... it has to complete the build before saving. My choices are to stop the build, save, and then restart the build (and wait another 10 minutes) or turn off build automatically. Of course, when I turn off the auto build I forget that I turned it off and then wonder why my debugger isn't reflecting new changes.
