Why does Android Eclipse constantly refresh external folders and take forver?

Just my a new Android phone and I've been tinkering with some basic apps. It's been driving my crazy that the Android plugin for Eclipse refreshes externals folders whenever I save ANYTHING. Normally I wouldn't mind but when it takes 10s to refresh I start to notice.

I already searched and other people have this problem, but there are no solutions.

If it matters, Eclipse 3.5 running on a 64bit jvm on Ubuntu 9.10

+2 A:

You could try disabling "Build automatically" from the Project menu.

And then you should keep in mind for those generated files ;) You should delete them occasionally if you want your "Build automatically" off.

Solves my problem. Fingers crossed that Google fixes this one day.

I generally do the above step of turning off Automatic build and also try to have not more then 1 open project in my project list.

I myself am fed up of Eclipse from this. Importing a big android project 'ALWAYS' hangs my eclipse and i have to force close it and restart it.

P.S. I really wish google would create an Android plugin for Netbeans =(

I tend to blame the Android plug-in. I regularly work w/ dozens of projects spanning thousands of source files and Eclipse has no problem. One android project w/ ONE source file and minimal layout and Eclipse is toast.
