maven appfuse m2eclipse disable auto-build

The auto-build feature in eclipse is a pain, for more reasons than one. 
1)With every save maven kicks off its build.
2)It also starts downloading stuff from the internet everytime you start.

To avoid 1) turn off build automatically on your eclipse project by right clicking on the project.

 To avoid 2)

You can turn the 'automatic download feature' off by

Window>Preferences>Maven>

turn on offline, and turn off download repository
index updates.
