Compilers (and every other kind of translator) in Eclipse are implemented with builders. These are notified when a file or a set of files are changed, and can take appropriate action. In the case of the Java builder, it translates .java source files into .class files.
Open the
.projectfile in thecom.packtpub.e4.minimark.uiproject. This is visible in the Navigator view, but not in the Package Explorer or other views. Alternatively, use Cmd + Shift + R on macOS (or Ctrl + Shift + R on other platforms) to open the resource by name. Builders are associated to a project within the.projectfile. The builder ID is referenced via thebuildCommand, for example:<projectDescription> <name>com.packtpub.e4.minimark.ui</name> <buildSpec> <buildCommand> <name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name> </buildCommand> ...To translate a
.minimarkfile into HTML automatically, a builder is needed...
