newbie: projects and speedbar (2 questions)

[Blue, Neil]

Hello,

I have two questions:

1) When I have a *.java file open,  is there a way to stop the speedbar from
jumping back to the current file in the buffer, after a couple of seconds
wait. Once I have browsed to a new directory location?

2) Is there a way to load a project with a set of file buffers in one go
after I have started emacs?

Thanks
Neil
