By default, the IDE builds your project only when you tell it to, but it can also build
your project automatically every time you change a file or other resource in any way (e.g.
delete, copy, save, etc.). This feature is optimal when you have projects that are small in
size, or not too many projects open at the same time. However, for best performance with very
large projects, or if you have many open projects, you will want to leave the autobuild
feature disabled.
To enable the autobuild feature:
-
From the main menu, select .
-
In the left pane, expand General and select
Workspace.
-
In the right pane, enable the Build automatically option.
-
Click OK to save and apply your preferences.
