Description Larry Johnson

Hello,

The program was working just fine until my computer crashed. Afterwards everything is ok except it does not compile when jave file is saved. An exymple is the hello.java program. No new .class file is created and no errors are found.

If I create a new project. the same file copied into the new project works okay.

Obviously, there is a work around. But I have about 700 java files. It will be extremely tedious to create new projects for everything.

I even updated ran a different version of Eclipse, but that did not help.

I thought a preference value might have changed when the system crashed. But in looking at the options, I see no switch to turn compiling on/off.

Thanks,

Larry

Did you try running with -clean option ? 

See http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Frunning_eclipse.htm

Other than this, I don't know what can be done.
