[mjmeijer]

New Verify or Upload commands cancels all existing Verify and Upload on that project.

@mjmeijer
I have been thinking hard about this pull request and I came to the conclusion not to accept this pull request.

My arguments not to are:
Taking into account slide after "optimization is the root of all evil" https://speakerdeck.com/player/2fa0e3a6cb3a4397a9794943553f42fc?#
Normally you do not click 50 times a build.
If you click 50 times build you probably want 50 builds done.
Adding a optimisation that cancels the previous build may have averse effect and complicates maintenance/testing work.
So as to me there is no need to optimize; so we shouldn't.

It is a hard call because:
I really appreciate your input/work so I hate to refuse this pull request.
In the short time you have been around here you have already contributed good things to the plugin.

Best regards
Jantje

We can move the nagging Job up one level so it is still called 50 times. If Jobs are longer running you can now clobber the queue, this should be prevented I think. But it is your call.

My emphasis will be on making it as easy as possible for people to migrate from Arduino IDE and preventing the usual "first time on Eclipse experience"

Sounds like a really good idea. But it is also a good ide to discuss upfront to avoid "frustration".
Is it ok for you if I assign you to issues I think are in this are and the mac related ones.
You can always unassign yourself.
I'm thinking about #80. If I add a "set port to project" you could do the gui (be it in the menu or as a combobox in the toolbar)
