You can turn off Build Automatically from the Project menu without losing any of the IDE functionality. Binaries will be built only by Sbt (on the command line).

A detailed guide for setting-up Play 2 with Scala IDE can be found on the Scala IDE website: http://scala-ide.org/docs/tutorials/play20scalaide20/index.html
