Yes, you can control this behavior. Go to the compiler preferences: Window >
Preferences > Java > Compiler > Other,
and lower the severity of "incomplete build path" problem to warning. This
will tell the Java compiler to no longer abort when the classpath suddenly
get corrupted.

Alternatively, you can uncheck the box reading "Abort building on build path
errors".
