Description Juan omínguez CLA 2008-03-12 16:47:21 EDT 
Build ID: 3.3

Steps To Reproduce:
Apparently no IResource API exposes whether a project needs to be built. It's neccessary to solve Bug 221803.

More information:
Looked at internal classes BuildManager and AutoBuildJob. Information about deltas to be built is internal.

However, not so much information should be needed: perhaps just a "needsBuild()" boolean method on IProject would be enough.
Comment 1 Szymon Brandys CLA 2008-03-13 04:49:39 EDT 
Why we can't just keep a flag for each project in UI, which is cleared when a build is performed (for the project) and set again when POST_CHANGE event comes?
Comment 2 Szymon Brandys CLA 2008-04-02 08:58:02 EDT 
I agree with bug 221803, comment 1. For me this is WONTFIX.
