Is it possible to make Eclipse (Helios SR2) NOT run your project on errors,

  • 0

Is it possible to make Eclipse (Helios SR2) NOT run your project on errors, instead of prompting for an answer or run anyway ?

Scenario:

In eclipse, I hit the Run button. There are compilation errors. Eclipse asks me if I would still like to continue with the run. I have the options of “Yes” and “No”. I can also tick “Always run without asking”.

In Eclipse Preferences, under Run/Debug > Launching there are radio buttons for “Continue launch if project contains errors”, but they only give 2 options, “Always” or “Prompt”. Other sections on that page give the options “Never”, but not this one.

Now. I’d just like to never run if there are errors, without any prompt (a console message would be just perfect, but not required). Is that possible ?

    No. This is not possible.

    But why would you want that?
    IMHO the prompt was the best eclipse (or any other s/w for that matter) can do. If you hit run, then you hit run, and you want the file to run.

    Is there any specific reason why you would want to hit the run button and the want the project not to run? It is very highly possible that you think you did not hit the run button and hot it again wondering what happened, rather than expecting that the project has errors.
