Java in Eclipse: generating .class file automatically

Question

Hello,

when I change my foo.java file in Eclipse there are no changes in the foo.class inside the bin folder.

I think there must be a way that Eclipse change this automatically when altering an foo.java file?

I even can't make it manually.

Hope you can help me.

Thanks

• Make sure it's a java project
• Make sure the java file is in a source folder (right click project, properties, build path)
• Make sure you have automatic build turned on (Project menu -> Build automatically)
