Yes, I got a long list of warnings/errors I would like to enable *cross* 
project but I haven't found a good way of doing that (beyond adding a 
.settings file to every project which is very much overkill and 
unmaintainable IMO)

Nick - got any suggestions ?

When we got the build separated out in modules i'm all for this - but 
for now where eevery build depends on everything else to build this 
would be too invasive at this point in time.
