Whenever I open a project in Eclipse, it auto opens all referenced projects.
I'd like to open only the main project, and manually open the referenced projects as needed.
Also I'd prefer a solution that can be configured for just my personal development environment, as I work with a large team.
I'm using Eclipse Mars Release (4.5.0), and doing Java development. Thanks!
Rather than disable all projects from building automatically, you can right click the problem project in the explorer and select the properties of the project. Then select the builders option, and deselect all the builders. This disables building of that particular project.
Go to package Explorer , select all the projects then go to Project -> Close Project. This will close all the projects.So next time when you start Eclipse, it will not load all the projects and it will response earlier than before.
In response to "In the drop down menu of Package Explorer, you can select Filters and choose Closed Projects. This will automatically hide all the projects that are closed." Don't forget to right-click on the project and select close project. If you don't do this, it will not 'automatically hide'.
Closed Project in Package Explorer A closed project is visible in the Package Explorer view but its contents cannot be edited using the Eclipse user interface. Also, an open project cannot have dependency on a closed project. The Package Explorer view uses a different icon to represent a closed project.
Do following:
1. Open Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace
2. And select Never or Prompt
