Eclipse Auto Save before assembly?

Question

Coming from the background of Visual Studio ...

How to tell Eclipse that it should automatically save when I ever create, and not ask every time.

VS.NET has it in the Options section, but I cannot find it in Eclipse.

I am using a Mac.

Answer 1

Switch to

Window → Settings → General → Workspace

and there you can check:

Save automatically before build + Build automatically

Answer 2

Try first

Window → Settings → General → Workspace. There you can check "Save automatically before assembly" and "Create automatically."

If that doesn't work,

READ PLEASE

Settings → Launch / Debugging → Launch → “Save dirty editors before launch”

Answer 3

Save automatically before assembly

Settings > Settings > General > Workspace > check "Save automatically before assembly" > OK

Save dirty editors before running

Window > Settings > Run / Debug > Run > check "Always" for "Save the necessary dirty editors before starting"

Save resources before launch

This is actually an alternative to "Save Required Dirty Editors Before Launching"

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

Answer 4

Settings → run / debug → launching → Save the necessary dirty editors before starting.

Answer 5

This has changed in the Eclipse Luna (or maybe just because I'm on a Mac and the responders are on a PC).

You will find this in this menu:

Eclipse -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace

From there, you will check the box "Save automatically before assembly" + "Create automatically." On a Mac, the settings are not under the Window menu, so I confused me a bit.

Answer 6

(For completeness only)

After Window → Settings → General → Workspace

(x) Save automatically before assembly + Build automatically

You must go to:

Windows → Save Perspectives As ...

And choose a name according to your perspective. You can overwrite old ...
