Description
I use the latest eclipse IDE and latest (snapshot) version of wwd. I have the problem described in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=570794. In short: If I change any java file (does not matter, junit or any other), then I have to wait too long for eclipse compile-step. So I sit on my IDE, click here and there, edit a java file without any sense only to trigger the automatic compile step by eclipse. It can be after 10 seconds or after 2- 5 minutes after ecllipse makes its automatic rebuild. That's too long! I thought that the problem was because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=570794, however, I removed the wwd plugin completely, restarted the IDE and now the rebuild triggers immediately (1-2 seconds) after I change and save a java file. So I assume that wwd prevents this eclipse compile step for any reason. Maybe there is any conflict in rebuilding step from wwd and eclipse which leads to this eclipse defect.

Research direction
Reproduce the delay by changing and saving a Java file with Wild Web Developer installed, then compare it with the plugin removed as described in the issue. Trace the interaction between Wild Web Developer and Eclipse's automatic build step; done means Java changes trigger rebuilding promptly without the multi-second or multi-minute delay.
