Description Nickolay CLA 2010-08-06 07:34:12 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

The "external program" builders are completely ignored when initiating a manual build.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a fresh generic project with a file.
2. Add an external tool builder to it, for example `echo "Builder started"`, save it to external file `builder.sh` and make it executable
3. Specify to run the builder "During manual" and "During auto" and specify the "working set of resources" to the file of the project.

4. Modify the file to cause the auto build. You should see the output in console.

5. Clear the console and initiate a manual build either with "Project -> Build All" or "Project -> Build project"

6. No output from builder as expected.

Sorry, any updates on this bug? 

Its such a basic feature, I can't believe Eclipse can't handle it. 

And its very frustrating experience to manually modify some source file, just to cause a rebuild..

Thanks

The builder only seems to run on "Project > Build Project" or "Project > Build All" if "After a clean" is checked on the Build options tab.

I do not confirm.. Even with 'After Clean' checkbox my builders still don't launch.
Comment 5 Nickolay CLA 2010-08-30 13:14:36 EDT 
The builders in 160895 are Ant builders, and in my case those are "Program" builders.
