Description pvdissel 2011-12-12 11:27:00 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1 RC2 (Build 201111302200)
Operating System = Linux version 3.0.0-13-generic running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_147-icedtea
Runtime = OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 21.0-b17

I'm running a java maven project with about ~100 modules/projects with about 60,000 files total, and it used to work fine with Netbeans 7.0 and 7.1 beta, but since 7.1RC1 it's totaly unworkable to have all modules opened. All code related features like code-completion and refactoring take ages and often result in a short freeze of whole netbeans, then it takes a "snapshot...", and then there's still no auto-completion nor refactoring (depending on what I was trying to do).

I need to have the whole project opened, otherwise Netbeans will not take all classes/files into account in it's actions.

I'm running on  8 GB of ram, SSD and Quad-core,:

Could you please create a profiler snapshot and attach it to the issue? Thanks.

Can you redirect me to an explanation on how to create such a profiler snapshot?

Comment 3 Dusan Balek 2012-01-02 12:21:11 UTC

Invoke 'Profile the IDE' action (via 'Alt+Shift+Y' or the icon in the IDE toolbar). Then invoke code completion (or any other action that you consider to be slow) followed by another 'Profile the IDE' action after it finishes. The snapshot should be automatically generated, so save it and attach to the issue. Thanks.

Can ANYONE please attach the requested information? Is this issue still valid? It has 4 votes so I assume there is someone to whom this also happens...
