How to stop Eclipse from opening referenced projects?

Tags:

eclipse

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!
