Prevent eclipse from building the projects before run an Ant task

ant, build, eclipse, launch

Solution

You can turn off `"Build (if required) before launch"`

You have turned rebuild off for resource modification but I believe you haven't turned off `"Build (if required) before launch"`

Go to:

`Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Launching -> Build (if required) before launching`

On older versions of eclipse:

`Window > Preferences > Run/Debug > Build (if required) before launching`

Problem

I want to prevent the project from compiling when I run an Ant task, how is this done? Eclipse build setting is not automatic but the build still remains running before any ant task be launched.
