Building inside the Eclipse Plug-In

Once the plug-in is configured, the build Console will display log information when a build is performed through the Eclipse IDE.  Follow Table BD-6 and BD-7 to execute a build inside of Eclipse.

Select Meister -Build With Meister

 

In addition, from the same menu, you also have the options to “Rebuild With Meister” or “Generate Meister TGT’s”.  The primary difference between the Build and Rebuild functions is that Rebuild will always cause a full build, while "Build" performs an incremental build updating only out of date components.  Build output is visible through the build Console.
