Description Jim Adams CLA 2007-08-16 11:22:38 EDT 
Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a Java Project
2. Add an Ant Builder
3. Edit the default task to do something
By default Build Automatically is on. The Ant task runs the first time the builder is added. Now clean the project. The Ant builder does not run. Turn off Build Automatically. Clean the project and notice that the Ant builder runs.


More information:
I live with Build Automatically turned on so I can see errors get resolved nicely. However there are parts of our build process that must be run with Ant. Having that portion run on Clean is much nicer than having to invoke an Ant Build every time. Plus, with a Clean, generated files are removed. If the Ant build is responsible for putting them back then you are screwed.

Marking as a dupe of bug 352131, it has the same reported problem and a project to reproduce the reported issue.

By "on a clean", do you mean "during a clean" or "after a clean" which a two different options of the "Targets" configuration tab of the Ant builder.
