Build configuration related menu items all greyed out in Eclipse

Is it normal to have Build Configuration related menu items all greyed out in Eclipse?

For example:

I am using Eclipse C/C++ 2022.6, ESP-IDF plugin 2.6 and esp-idf-v4.4.2. The project was created by importing a little cli test project.

This is normal although sometimes irritating. :)
The build process for an IDF project is fairly complex so the plugin sets all the "build" stuff behind the scenes then blocks access to it from the menus. The idea is to prevent people fiddling with it and breaking their builds and generating tons of "my build broke" requests for support. The only time you should really need it is to troubleshoot the plugin itself. I've found myself wanting it only when trying to debug plugin issues and provide good info back to the Espressif team.
