The first time Eclipse is used to build Kepler, the build hangs
for several minutes.

I had one user who thought that the Kepler/Eclipse build was broken because
it was taking several minutes for him.

What happens is that during the build after importing the projects into
Kepler, "Refreshing workspace" appears in the lower right.  If I click
on the progress bar next to "Refresh workspace", I get a Progress tab
with a countdown on the number of resources to refresh.  For me, 
on a reasonably sporty server, this stage took 4 minutes.  This is
not so bad, it appears that we are making progress.

I then get "Building workspace (12%)" and after about a minute
I get "Copying resources to the output folder".  

Then, for about 8 minutes there is nothing but "Copying resources to the
output folder".  This is where the user gave up, they thought Eclipse
was dead.  Is there anything we can do here?

All told, the build took 16 minutes, which is not so bad, but the
problem is the 8 minutes of dead time in the middle.
