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.
Currently there are many complaints about slow project scanning. When project scan is running we don't know what is happening, and even when the "Enable auto-scanning of sources" is deselected on NetBeans options the scanning feature continues to run. Please provide a way to see what project scan is doing, so we can understand and possibly report bugs/issues/slowness related to project scan. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 (Build 201107282000) Java: 1.6.0_27; Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 20.2-b06 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_BR (nb)
I mean something like a log window where information about project scan is displayed.

There are two things: 1st) Check for external changes ("Enable auto-scanning of sources") which is low level file system refresh and is independent on languages support, it's mostly done when you return back to IDE (it's sensitive on focus gained). 2nd) The Project scanning. The progress shows the name of project being scanned. The verbose logging can be enabled by -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.parsing.impl.indexing.level=FINE. In addition to this we are going to add more high level logging, see issue #203653 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 203653 ***
