Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When use the headlessbuilder to build a workset which contains one main projects and several dependent projects, such as main project is projmain and there are two dependent projects projlib and projzend.

When use command :
eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild  -import path-to-projmain -data /tmp/workspace.13309 -cleanBuild  projmain --launcher.suppressErrors -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m

It don't build the dependent projects projlib and projzend.

And if change command to :


eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild  -import path-to-projlib -import path-to-projzend -import path-to-projmain -data /tmp/workspace.13309 -cleanBuild projlib -cleanBuild projzend -cleanBuild  projmain --launcher.suppressErrors -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m

The build order is like projlib projmain and projzend, it always follows the project name's letter sequence order.

So the build would fail when build a main project has dependent projects.

Current workaround:

manage the project dependency in makefile.target in the main project which like following

projlib :
       command to build this project

projzend :
       command to build this project

projmain : projlib projzend





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up several projects which one main project dependens on other project and the main project name shouldn't be the last one, like A, B and C, set A or B as main project.
2. use the eclipse headlessbuild  command to build the main project.

Headlessbuild command line arguments are
