SonarQube for Eclipse has a helpful “Automatic build of workspace disabled” popup which shows when “Build automatically” is disabled in Eclipse, informing the user that the Sonar analysis might not be accurate since the compiled bytecode may not be in sync with the source code.
When switching between many files, this popup opens for each newly opened file (unless this dialog is already shown), so closing this popup can quickly become tedious (there is an option to disable this popup completely, but this also removes the reminder for the user to turn “Build automatically” back on).
Since this popup doesn’t really require any user input, it would be helpful to have an option to auto-fade/auto-close this popup after a short time (e.g. after 5 seconds). Such a behavior is already implemented for the Release Notes popup).
This would keep the popup as a reminder for the user to turn “Build automatically” back on without the need to manually close this popup.
