Description Sam Davis CLA 2010-12-15 01:48:24 EST 
It would be useful to have an option to clean all projects with errors. I have 300+ projects in my workspace and often I'll have around 50 that need cleaning (e.g. if Eclipse crashes), but I have to resort to cleaning all projects because manually selecting only the 50 with errors would be too painful. This means I'm waiting 6 times as long as I should have to.

You can already do that with one additional step:

1. select all errors in the Problems view
2. context menu > Show In > Package (or Project) Explorer
3. Project > Clean...

Thanks, that's a neat trick and I'll use it from now on, but I suspect that the percentage of users who have discovered that is pretty low, so I still think an option to do this explicity in the clean dialog would be helpful.
