Choosing ‘MyEclipse->Add WebProject Capabilities’ on a project that has existing builders overwrites them instead of just adding the MyEclipse builders to the list.

Here is how to replicate:

1. Open project properties for a project that does not have the MyEclipse webproject nature.
2. Click on the “Builders” entry on the left.
3. Click “New” to add a new builder. Choose “Ant Build” and OK, then click OK in the Ant properties dialog. This will create an Ant builder in the build spec.
4. Right-click on the project. Choose “MyEclipse->Add WebProject Capabilities”. Choose a web root and click OK.
5. Go back to the project properties under “Builders” and the previous builder has been removed.

I am guessing the problem is that IProjectDescription.setBuildSpec() is being called with a pre-determined array of build commands rather than adding the new commands as needed.

Hope that helps!

This seems to happen in all versions of MyEclipse… tried it in the 2.x and 3.x branches…
