(some background for this enhancement can be found in issue 149898 discussing 'Needs to be compiled' badge on Java files) Regardless of state of Compile on Save switch it might be useful to indicate that a project build artifact (that is a jar file produced by project's build) is out of date. Can be useful for example: * when a Java Library project is used within a Web project to indicate that library project needs to be rebuild to propagate changes to Web project * if CoS is enabled and user did some code changes and want to send jar artifact to somebody else the badge could help them to figure out that jar is not up to date I'm not sure about which wording of badge's tooltip is best: - Needs to be [re]packaged/rebuilt - '<jar-name>.jar' file is out of date and will need to be rebuilt Some other suggestions?
