Suddenly my Eclipse have started to automatically build the workspace whenever I save and it take ages for just a single save (I tend to save very often). It has never done that before so I was wondering: how do I to turn it off?
In these situations, autobuild can be turned off through Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > Build automatically. Even for smaller workspaces, turning off autobuilding may be a useful feature.
By default, you are in auto-build mode and Eclipse takes care of compiling source files automatically. Builds occur automatically in the background every time you change files in the workspace (for example saving an editor). Auto-build is convenient because it means problems view, binaries, etc.
As you type in your program, occasionally select File->Save from the menu to save your work. You may enjoy the "content assist" feature of Eclipse. If you type a partial input and then hit CTRL+SPACE, a dialog shows all possible completions. Just pick the one you want from the list.
If you want to turn off auto Building your project, click the Project menu and uncheck the Build automatically menu.
