   @lkishalmi I have used this patch for two years. Every time a new NetBeans release comes around, I first try developing for some hours without the patch. Compile-on-Save is completely unusable without it on my particular project (which is a multi-module NetBeans Platform maven project).
   
   I'm not sure what the best way forward is, since according to @jglick's comment above, this patch cannot just be applied in every case.
   
   Even with this patch, the NetBeans index still frequently gets corrupted, with Find Usages, Go to Symbol, Refactor etc. not finding every case, and error badges showing for files without errors. Existing NetBeans, deleting the "index" directory in the NetBeans cache directory, starting NetBeans again, and waiting for a complete reindex is now unfortunately part of my daily routine.
