1. Make sure Project > Build Automatically is checked.
2. Choose a Java project that has no Project References selected, and which no other projects refer to. Go to its Properties panel.
3. Change something in its Java Build Path page (e.g. add a JAR).
4. Switch to another page. You will be prompted to apply the changes.
5. All projects in the workspace rebuild themselves, instead of just the selected project.

Please attach a reproduceable testcase since I just tried at it works as expected - only the affected project is rebuilt.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be happening now. It's possible that the rebuild happened after I changed one of the global Classpath Variables. I'll close it.
