Hello everyone,
What is Eclipse doing when building workspace process is running? Can i disable it because it is taking a long time to complete and i dont know if it is necessary. Thank you
A:
You can switch to manual build so can control when this is done. Just make sure that Project > Build Automatically from the main menu is unchecked.

Thanks, just wondering if you can also tell me what exactly is building workspace?

A:
Building workspace is about incremental build of any evolution detected in one of the opened projects in the currently used workspace.
You can also disabled 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, orPreferences / 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)
