eclipse starts 'Building workspace' in endless loop

Is it 开发者_JAVA技巧possible to debug which process triggered a 'Building workspace' in Eclipse?

I have a Java project with some BIRT reports. While this project is open Eclipse restarts 'Building workspace' in an infinite loop.

I'm using Eclipse 3.6.1 with BIRT 2.6.1

Having something open in another editor in the target directory of the project in which the problem is occurring can also cause an infinite "Build Workspace" loop.

probably related to Win7. I added my workspace repository to the Windows Explorer Favorites or Windows Explorer Libraries. This seems to write some data and trigger eclipse to rebuild.

Click Project tab on top of eclipse > uncheck "Build Automatically". This resolved the issue for me.
