The Eclipse Wiki says:
If HCR does not work for you [...] you may not have automatic building turned on. Make sure that 'Project > Build Automatically' is checked.
Building the project I'm working on takes quite some time. Therefore I'd like to control when the build is triggered which is why I unchecked 'Project > Build Automatically'.
Is it possible to manually trigger hot code replace (HCR) without having automatic building enabled?
Eclipse says on its website that
Project > Build All (Ctrl+B) can be invoked at any time to trigger what auto-build was doing automatically.
I tried to use that to trigger HCR, but when I debug, change some code and press Ctrl+B as in the quote above, no HCR is performed but the whole project is build.
