Anders, everyone:

<<How do these project properties relate to the WOLips build preferences?>>
They are somewhat independent. The incremental build ignores everything set
in the preferences (it always runs after the Java Build if it is selected).
The Ant build will honor the options set in the preferences and only runs if
it is enabled. Switching to the external build gave me errors in the current
CVS version (build already running...).
<<Should perhaps TargetBuilder also be controlled here?>>
Yes, probably. Although I'm not sure if the TargetBuilder is still necessary
since Eclipse supports multiple output paths natively. Maybe some of the
users could speak up, please?
<<There are now 4 ways to build: Internal Ant, External Ant, Incremental
and TargetBuilder.>>
Well, [internal | external] Ant and the Incremental build try to do the same
thing -- create a framework or application bundle from the compiled classes
and the (WebServer-)Resources in the project. I'd say these are the two
build styles.
The TargetBuilder is a replacement for the JavaBuilder that allows more than
one output path (which should by now be supported by the Eclipse build
stuff). If you use the TargetBuilder you'll also have to use the Ant build,
because the incremental build doesn't deal with this structure properly.
<<Is the Incremental builder in CVS broken? Should I try to use it, or
wait?>>
I think I have fixed the stuff in CVS, if you could give the incremental
build a try I'd be more than glad to hear about your experience. If you need
help figuring out how it should be used, be sure to drop me a line.
There are still situations where a rebuild project (or even rebuild all) is
needed, if you come across them, I'd also be interested to hear about that.
