What "heap size error" are you talking about?
Do you have Project > Build Automatically enabled?
Building large projects is not really a problem in general; I currently 
work on a product that includes about 20 individual plugins and LOTS of 
third-party JARs and it build just fine. A couple of years ago I worked 
on a massive project that consisted of about 40 individual projects and 
it would build (albeit a little slowly) without problems.
