I'm having annoying issue with eclipse. I have 20+ project in my eclipse (maven, gradle). Which has 10,000+ files in resources path each. I turned off "Build Automatically" in eclipse menu. When I try to run one project's java. It suddenly started doing cleaning workspace for Project1, and copying resource to target directory for project1, and continue to project n then it's starting the application which I intended to start. The beauty is I was trying to start a node application and it's trying to do clean and build for Project 1 to n which are maven or gradle. Is it a defect in eclipse or is there a way to solve this issue?

I know the issues of lots of unwanted build activity from various setups -- much time wasted this way. Meanwhile I typically achieve best results by *enabling* build automatically and ensuring that it only does what I really need.
In particular, in any maven projects the maven builder typically does more than I need on every save, therefore I remove the maven builder from .project - and ensure that resources are still copied as desired (by removing any exclusions that m2e may have added to .classpath).
At this point, build automatically should be very fast, with minimal transitive rebuilds. If there's anything that needs to be done via maven, I explicitly invoke a maven build for the individual project that needs it when I need it (with build automatically temporarily disabled to be on the safe side).

At the end of it, launching should hardly ever encounter a state where additional building is necessary, voila! :)

As for the particular problem, if you are certain that a launch triggers building of projects that are totally unrelated to any projects referenced by the launch, then this might be a bug worth reporting. Again it will make a difference which builders are involved, since one builder's results may trigger another builder.
