This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
See http://www.netbeans.org/nonav/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42683#desc27 and http://www.netbeans.org/nonav/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42683#desc28 There are apparently use cases for deep, crosslinked projects of Java EE type. The fix for j2seproject could be ported to these project types.
Not planned for 6.8.
A JEE project that I'm working on is starting to exponentially take longer to build. Each new EJB project added to the EAR and dependant on a parent shared jar increases the build time. Any ETA on a future build?
Sorry, no imminent plans to implement this.
Note that Maven projects are unaffected, only legacy Ant-based projects.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
