Eclipse adding your own build command

Question

I am new to eclipse and wanted to do the following:

1. Use my custom build commands with eclipse. Until now I only saw make all. I use a shell script for building my project; how can I use that in an Eclipse environment?
2. When I create a new project with the existing source code, it doesn't add the files, without building the code and if code fails to build (because I generally don't have make all).

How do I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

You can add a custom builder in the "Builders" category of the project properties.

project->properties->builders->new

there you can also deactivate the default eclipse builders..

hope that helped
