How to disable automatic syntax checking in Eclipse?

Question

I use Eclipse on Linux, and I need to disable automatic syntax checking and parsing of any type of text file (java, xml, javascript) during editing. I want Eclipse to check for syntax / errors in the file ONLY when I click the save button. This problem becomes very annoying as it slows down Eclipse while I type and freeze Eclipse many times for several seconds, and sometimes almost a minute, so I can not do anything in time.

Answer 1

Uncheck Project > Build automatically

But I would have acted differently. I will do a new installation of Eclipse and see if the problem persists. If your machine is good enough (I have 2x2.2ghz, 2gb ram), you should not have problems with the eclipse.
