Changing build order

By default, the Workbench computes the build order by interpreting project references as prerequisite relationships. Alternatively, you can explicitly define the order in which projects are built.

The Build Order Preferences page allows you to disable the Use default build order option so that you can access to the projects list and manipulate the order of it.

To define the order in which the Workbench performs builds projects:

1. Click Window > Preferences to open the Preferences page.
2. Select the Build Order category in the left pane. The Build Order Preferences page opens, listing the projects for the build.
3. Ensure that the Use default build order check box is cleared. If it is selected, the buttons on this page are disabled, and builds are performed in the order of the project list.
4. (Optional) Click Add Project and Remove Project buttons to add and remove projects from the list.
5. Select one or more projects in the list and click Up or Down to to set the preferred project build order.
6. Click OK to close the Preferences page.
