PM15930: EGL MODIFICATION ARE NOT EXPORTED TO JAR FILE AFTER FIRST JAVA G ENERATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  
   - OS (name, language, version or SP): Microsoft Windows XP SP2
   - Product name (Build ID or version/patch level): IBM Rational
  Business Developer v7.5.1.4
  
  Reproducible Y/N: Y
  
  Description of problem:
  
  
  When running externally an EGL program exported to a Jar file,
  recent modification are not visible.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1- Export an EGL project to a Jar file
  2- Modify a program within this project
  3- generate the Java code from the modified EGL file or from its
  package (not from the project)
  (opening the Java generated file shows the modification)
  4- export it again by overwriting the existing jar file
  5- run the program externally: modification is not there
  6- redo step 3, 4 and 5: modification is there
  
  Workaround:
  
  Different workarounds exists:
  1) either generate a second time from the file or package
  2) or generate from the wizard
  3) or generate from the project
  4) or test the modification in RBD (Run as? Java application)
  before exporting it to a jar file

  ****************************************************************
  The auto build was not running after generation completed.
  This is causing missing and/or stale .class files.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was forcing an incremental build before generation
  to ensure that the .IR files were not stale. This caused the
  auto builder to not run after generation was complete.
  
  The forced incremental build has been removed. If a file is
  forced saved during the generate action, the code puts the
  UI thread to sleep for 1 second, so that the autobuild can
  run naturally.
