Coming from a Visual Studio background...

How do I tell Eclipse that it should auto save when ever I build rather than ask each time.

VS.NET has it under "Options", but I can't find it in Eclipse.

I use a Mac.

First, try

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace. There you can check "Save automatically before build" and "Build automatically."

If that does not work,

PLEASE TRY

Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Launching -> "Save dirty editors before launching"
