Prevent eclipse from building the projects before run an Ant task

I want to prevent the project from compiling when I run an Ant task, how is this done?

Eclipse build setting is not automatic but the build still remains running before any ant task be launched.

Solution

  • You can turn off "Build (if required) before launch"

    You have turned rebuild off for resource modification but I believe you haven't turned off "Build (if required) before launch"

    Go to:

    Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching -> Build (if required) before launching

    On older versions of eclipse:

    Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Build (if required) before launching
