Description ptoye 2006-11-11 11:01:14 UTC 
I have found a need to compile all the project modules without doing a "Clean
and Build" which destroys the existing dist folder. Could a "clean and compile"
be added to the project right-click menu please?

Alternatively (but I suspect this would be harder work), have NB recognise when
a module containing a public static final variable is changed, and recompile the
modules that use it.

Reassigning to "projects".

most probably a won't fix issue. Why do you need such a feature? a "clean" means you remove all the built artifacts (eg.
classes and jars) and start with a completely clean table. 

Of course you can modify your build.xml and create such ant target. Alternatively if you want to preserver the content
of the dist folder, you can create a target to copy it elsewhere before doing the clean.
