1) get your Database coords and other deployment properties out of the 
project and onto your servers. Use JNDI.
Two advantages - your builds are simpler and less prone to nasty 
run-time surprises and you can actually run the WAR file that you tested 
not some other WAR file that you made after you tested which now has 
production values in it

2) Break your one BIG project into smaller projects that can be 
developed and tested separately. Look at moving to SOA.

Eclipse can handle lots of projects. Our application is made up of over 
70 independent Eclipse projects. No problem.
