Eclipse "autosave before build" not working?

I am using Eclipse Helios on CentOS 5.6 and, (maybe) after (or perhaps due to?) downloading a plugin for Jetty, the IDE has stopped autosaving before building. The corresponding option in

Window --> Preferences --> Workspace --> Save automatically before build

is on and I have tried all possible combinations of unsetting and resetting it, as well as restarting the application.

Is there any way of "manually" overriding this option in a configuration file somewhere?

Thanks!
