Eclipse Auto Save before build?

Coming from a Visual Studio background...

How do I tell Eclipse that it should auto save when ever I build rather than ask each time.

VS.NET has it under "Options", but I can't find it in Eclip开发者_开发知识库se.

I use a Mac.

First, try

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace. There you can check "Save automatically before build" and "Build automatically."

If that does not work,

PLEASE TRY

Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Launching -> "Save dirty editors before launching"

Go to

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace

and there you can check:

Save automatically before build + Build automatically

Save automatically before build

Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > check "Save automatically before build" > OK

Save dirty editors before launching

Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching > check "Always" for "Save required dirty editors before launching"

Save resources before launching

This is actually an alternative to "Save required dirty editors before launching"

Change something in the current file > Run > check "Always save resources before launching" > OK

Details:

• IDE: Eclipse Kepler
• O.S.: Windows

Preferences -> run/debug ->launching -> Save required dirty editors before launching.

This has changed in Eclipse Luna (or maybe it's just because I'm on a mac and the answerers are on a PC).

You find it under this menu:

Eclipse -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace

From there, you check "Save automatically before build" + "Build automatically". On a Mac, Preferences isn't under the Window menu, so that confused me for a bit.

(Just for completeness)

After Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace

(x) Save automatically before build + Build automatically

You must go to:

Windows -> Save Perspective As...

And select a name according to the perspective you are using. You can overwrite the old ones...
