Programmer - Spring builder is slow in Eclipse - can I disable it?

Programmer Question

When building our Java applications in Eclipse, the Spring builder is very slow and opaque. It gives no status outputs, and it's very slow.

Specifically, I start building a project, and Eclipse's Progress pane displays

Invoking 'Spring Project Builder' on 'project name'...

for multiple minutes at a time, with no additional details.

I've already turned off the Spring AOP Reference Model Builder, and I just recently disabled the Spring project builder completely out of desperation.

I'm just building and using these projects, not developing them, so theoretically they should compile fine - but this is our development branch, so I'd still like to keep Spring on in case there's a nasty reflection error somewhere.

So, in order to keep using them, is there anything I can do to:

1. Speed the Spring portion of the build?


2. Display more detailed output during the Spring project building process?
