Controlling clean build participation for libraries

When you use the Project > Clean menu item to invoke a full build of projects in the workspace, the resources in all of the libraries are automatically revalidated. If you have libraries that contain large XML schemas or WSDL files, the process of revalidating the library resources can considerably add to the time required for the build to complete. However, if you have one or more libraries that contain large files and you do not expect the libraries to change, you can exclude them from the builds and subsequently reduce the overall build time.

To control clean build participation for a library:


Procedure

  1. In the Business Integration view or the Physical Resources view, right-click the library for which you want to control clean build participation and then select Properties. The Properties window opens for the selected library.

  2. In the left frame of the Properties window, select Participation in Clean. The Participation in Clean page opens.

  3. Complete one of the following tasks:

    • If you do not want the library to participate in clean builds, select the Do not participate in Clean check box.

    • If you want the library to participate in clean builds, clear the Do not participate in Clean check box. By default, the check box is cleared.

  4. Click OK to close the Properties window for the library.


What to do next

If that when you select or clear the Do not participate in Clean check box for a specific library and then click OK, the property is saved in the .metadata directory of the workspace. If you work in a team environment, the property is not automatically updated in the corresponding workspaces of other users in the team environment. For this reason, other users in the team environment will also need to select or clear the Do not participate in Clean check box to control whether the same library in their corresponding workspaces are included or excluded from clean builds.
