Turn off Auto Build in Eclipse CDT directly on files in Workspace metadata
<p>How to turn off Auto Build feature in Eclipse CDT, using metadata files in WorkSpace directory for the project without using any dialog boxes and window wizards.</p>

<p>Any file under project workspace "/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects" would contain such information, which can be easily edited and preserved?</p>

<p>My use case is, to create a project workspace template, which is preconfigured with custom settings, and must be used by different users.</p>
