Question

I need to be able to change a projects build command in my Eclipse plugin. I have an Eclipse plugin that I need to have the build command for the current project changed whenever it is activated. I would like the plugin to do this rather than the user to have to manually change it.

I solved this question on my own. If you use ManagedBuildManager it allows you to modify the build command.

Here is sample code:

IConfiguration config = ManagedBuildManager.getBuildInfo(activeProject).getDefaultConfiguration();
config.setBuildCommand("test");
ManagedBuildManager.saveBuildInfo(activeProject, true);
