How to build a project in eclipse plugin development

Question

I'm developing a plugin in eclipse which should build the project (and do other stuff) on click of a button. I'm just searching for the line to build the selected project.

Answer 1

The IProject for the project has several build methods depending on exactly what you want to do. The simplest is:

IProject project = ....

IProgressMonitor monitor = ... a progress monitor ...

project.build(IncrementalProjectBuilder.FULL_BUILD, monitor);
