[m2e-users] Lots of Projects

[Joe Toth <joetoth@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have about 130 projects I would like to load up. They are all
managed by Maven. Currently I use IntelliJ for the most part and it
doesn't have any problems loading up this many projects.

When I load them all up in Spring STS 2.7.1 it takes forever and I
haven't seen it complete yet.

Some of these projects are GWT projects so when doing a maven compile
it will not only compile the source, but translate the java code to
javascript, which can take a while.

So I have 2 questions.
1. Is there a global way to just let Eclipse handle the compiling? (So
the GWT projects won't use maven 'compile' to web mode)
2. Is there anything special I can do when loading up so many
projects? I would like to load them all up, then close and open the
ones I am currently working on.

Does anyone else keep a lot of projects open? How do you deal with it?

Thanks!
