Is it possible to force Eclipse to ignore syntax checking / formatting for one specific file?

I am using Eclipse as IDE for Ruby / Rails development (using Aptana plugin). I have one very, very large file that includes an initial data load of several thousand lines of data. When this file is opened, everything stops (on both Windows and Linux), presumably because Eclipse is tied in trying to parse and format / syntax check the file. Typing one word takes over a minute to complete.

Is there a way for me to flag this file in such a way that Eclipse will skip over it to check the format / syntax?

In the Navigator, right-click the file and choose Open With → Text Editor. This will cause the file to be opened as plain text on every access.

You can try to put all of your files but the large one into a working set and then make that working set the default.
