You can switch to manual build so can control when this is done   Just make sure that Project  gt  Build Automatically from the main menu is unchecked

Building workspace is about incremental build of any evolution detected in one of the opened projects in the currently used workspace   You can also disable it through the menu  Project   Build automatically    But I would recommend first to check    if a Project Clean all   Build result in the same kind of long wait  after disabling this option  if you have  this time with building automatically activated  some validation options you could disable to see if they have an influence on the global compilation time  Preferences   Validations  or Preferences   XML       if you have WTP installed  if a fresh eclipse installation referencing the same workspace  see this eclipse ini for more  results in the same issue  with building automatically activated      Note that bug 329657  open in 2011  in progress in 2014  is about interrupting a  too lengthy  build  instead of cancelling it      There is an important difference between build interrupt and cancel           When a build is cancelled  it typically handles this by discarding incremental build state and letting the next build be a full rebuild  This can be quite expensive in some projects    As a user I think I would rather wait for the 5 second incremental build to finish rather than cancel and result in a 30 second rebuild afterwards    The idea with interrupt is that a builder could more efficiently handle interrupt by saving its intermediate state and resuming on the next invocation    In practice this is hard to implement so the most common boundary is when we check for interrupt before after calling each builder in the chain        nbsp

For anyone running into a problem where build automatically is unchecked but the project is still building  Make sure your project isn t deployed to the server in the server tab and told to stay synchronous
