## Build Your Keyboard
-We will now configure a make target that cleans the project and builds the keymap of your choice.
-
-1. On the right side of the screen, select the <kbd>Make Target</kbd> tab
-2. Expand the folder structure to the keyboard of your choice, e.g. `qmk_firmware/keyboards/ergodox`
-3. Right-click on the keyboard folder and select <kbd>New…</kbd> (or select the folder and click the <kbd>New Make Target</kbd> icon above the tree)
-4. Choose a name for your build target, e.g. _clean \<your keymap\>_
-5. Make Target: this is the arguments that you give to `make` when building from the command line. If your target name does not match these arguments, uncheck <kbd>Same as target name</kbd> and input the correct arguments, e.g. `clean <your keymap>`
-6. Leave the other options checked and click <kbd>OK</kbd>. Your make target will now appear under the selected keyboard.
-7. (Optional) Toggle the <kbd>Hide Empty Folders</kbd> icon button above the targets tree to only show your build target.
-8. Double-click the build target you created to trigger a build.
-9. Select the <kbd>Console</kbd> view at the bottom to view the running build.

+We will now change the default make target of the the project from `all` to the
+specific keyboard and keymap combination we are working on,
+e.g. `kinesis/kint36:stapelberg`. This way, project-wide actions like cleaning
+and building the project will complete quickly, instead of taking a long time or
+outright locking up Eclipse.
+
+1. Focus an editor tab within the project
+2. Open the `Project` > `Properties` window, then select the `C/C++ Build` list
+ entry and switch to the `Behavior` tab.
+3. Change the default `Make build target` text fields for all enabled builds
+ from `all` to e.g. `kinesis/kint41:stapelberg`.
+4. Verify your setup works by selecting `Project` > `Clean...`.
