Description nleck 2008-10-23 10:19:48 UTC

When I first open 6.5rc1 the IDE locks up for many minutes. I've restarted a number of times but in the end needed to
walk away and come back. 

The task scanner should be off by default if it's gonna take this long. 

This is a new issue with 6.5 you can't release like this.

Thanks you for the report but we need more info. Could you please enclose thread dump when IDE gets frozen ?

We have a source tree of some 6,000 Java files. Our home directory is mounted via NFS on a couple of large Solaris boxes.

The task scan took about 10 minutes ( actually killed the ide a number of times thinking it was deadlocked), it took 10
minutes once I stopped killing it. 

The IDE was unusable during this time. I've now disabled the task list feature but had to wait for the first scan to
complete to do this. 

I guess I'm really just saying it gives a very bad first impression. 

PS. This project is shared between Netbeans and Eclispe. There are more users on Eclispe so we can't change the project
around just for netbeans.

The thread dump would really help.

Comment 5 nleck 2008-11-03 10:27:01 UTC

The IDE really isn't usable while the scanning in running.

Comment 6 Peter Pis 2008-11-03 10:38:57 UTC

Reassigning to java for evaluation.

Comment 8 nleck 2009-01-12 09:05:29 UTC

Need to disable "Task List" to prevent the lock up. The "Task List" module seems to lock up the IDE on both Solaris and
Windose.

Comment 9 Rastislav Komara 2009-02-03 10:57:31 UTC

Overtake.

Comment 10 Rastislav Komara 2009-02-16 09:23:31 UTC

Evaluated.

Comment 11 farcat 2009-03-12 11:52:01 UTC

6.1 seems better behaved this way

Comment 12 Jan Lahoda 2009-08-20 10:00:53 UTC

Reassigning all moonko's java/source bugs to myself.

Comment 13 nleck 2009-10-28 03:59:53 UTC

This is fixed I believe in the 6.8beta... should we just close ?

Comment 14 David Strupl 2009-11-09 14:17:12 UTC

Closing the issue.
