[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-168) Background scanning process needs a rethink

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-168?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16521368#comment-16521368 ] 

Laszlo Kishalmi commented on NETBEANS-168:
------------------------------------------

Well, there is no movement for some time on this issue. Could we get a sample project, where we could demonstrate this? It could be any open source project big enough.

So it would be good if there would be something we could analyze. I tried switching between branches in netbeans git repo, but the background scanning never took more than 2 seconds.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-168
>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: ide - Performance, java - Platform, platform - Execution
>    Affects Versions: 8.2, Next
>         Environment: NetBeans 8.2, Windows 10 x64
>            Reporter: Christian Lenz
>            Priority: Critical

> Often, while cloning, switching branch, merging, opening etc. etc. NetBeans starts Background scanning for changes, but it is not real background, because everything what you want to do then, like changing the branch, commit, push, pull, open project, delete or whatever, is blocking by this task and you can't cancel it, because it is essential.
> Either we need to rethink about this process like to make everything or most of the stuff doing things in parallel or the task should really be cancelable. It is a pain in the ass for big projects when they start to scan for changes. 
> It is a real world case because you acan see it when you work on NetBeans modules.
> Cheers
