I have many different compiles for an RPGLE:

So, I usually always pull up the compile menu.
Far and away, the vast majority of my work involves changing mainline
code - programs that consume service programs. CRTBNDRPG handles that,
so for the vast mojority of my day, Ctrl-Shift-C is all I need to
compile a program.
But what about the more complicated situations like when I'm editing a
service program's subprocedure, testing it (with RPGUnit) and jumping
back and forth between CRTBNDRPG and CRTRPGMOD?
I think I've discovered something about the way I work. I do a lot by
right clicking an entry in RSE. That's easy for me because I pretty
much always create a new connection with appropriately narrow filters
for the project I'm working on. I hardly ever File > Open a member
outside a connection, because the connection supplies the underlying
base IBM i environment; most importantly, the library list.
Lately, I've been experimenting with GNU make. 5799-PTL
http://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/servlet/ContentHandler/pw_com_porting_tools_index
provides a GMAKE command that will run from the CL command line. Here's
a sample makefile I made up to create David Morris' ANT command from his
iSeries Toolkit

My interest in ant and make stems from the notion that both have some
support within Eclipse. I haven't got to the part where I integrate
make with Eclipse yet, but I think it will handle a bunch of my complex
compilation problems. Then of course I'll need to write a makefile
tool, LOL!
