Build a Java program

A build command compiles workbench resources. A build command can be triggered in different ways:

Building automatically If auto build is turned on...

Window | Preferences | Perform build automatically on resource modification

...then an incremental build occurs every time you save a modified workbench resource.

Building manually You can perform a manual build using a keyboard shortcut, a project's pop-up menu or the Project menu in the menu bar.
