Description
We have a build with a large number of subprojects (~30) and running sbt eclipse can take a substantial amount of time (most of it due to dependency resolution). It would be nice to have the capability in sbt eclipse to only (re)generate project files for a single subproject at a time. One possibility would be for the eclipse command by default to only generate files for the currently-selected project by default. If in the root project of the build, it would continue to generate project files for all subprojects, as it currently does. Another option would be to control this behavior with an argument passed to the "eclipse" command.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and command entry point for sbt eclipse. Compare how the currently selected project and the root project are represented, then determine how a command argument could select one subproject. Done means eclipse can regenerate only the selected subproject while preserving all-project generation from the root project.
