Stopping Maven index update eclipse

This question might have been asked before.

Every time I open my eclipse it takes forever to update the Maven repo indexes.

I do not have any Maven Plugin installed on it but still does it.

Does anyone know how to disable this feature because this is becoming pain for me.

thanks

The file that this is downloading is an index of all the available dependencies available in the Maven central repository for use in Maven-enabled projects, allowing them to be easily chosen and searched against within the Eclipse UI. It is mainly a user convenience, and isn't mandatory.

If you for example change important plugin settings, such as the output java version, you will find that Eclipse will ask you to update the project and afterwards the configured Java runtime in the project will have changed to reflect what your Maven pom indicates.
