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?

    Also available in the Workspace settings: Windows –> Preferences –> General –> workspace --> uncheck "Build Automatically" box. Source, including screenshots: https://www.benchresources.net/how-to-build-java-project-in-eclipse-ide-automatically/. – Gabriel Staples Feb 13 '20 at 21:46
