I was recently on an IDEA newsgroup and somebody mentioned that eclipse
3.0 builds also have a feature by which you can turn of automatic
build of your project in eclipse.
Does anyone know how to do that ? My project has over 5000 files and
rebuilding the project takes forever for me as I'm changing the files.
It would be great if I can turn of auto-build (just like IDEA does)
Also would anyone know what do we lose by turning of the automatic
project build action.
Thanks,
Jalpesh.

I also have trouble with things like this in projects with many files, but
it is not a rebuild that takes place. It is the update of the workspace,
especially the task/error list if there is many warnings or unfinished
todo's etc.
It seems that the workplace searches through every file in order to get new
status for this.
