"Finding packages" seems to scan all the packages in Favorites tab recursively - which takes about an hour on my PC (there are some huge directories in Favorites tab: NetBeansProjects, my home dir (which in turn includes NetBeansProjects) even my whole HDD for looking up files in some special cases). Didn't notice such problems up to now, seems "Finding packages" worked only on opened folders - up to now.
I'm sorry, I do not know what you mean with "Finding Packages". Can you please add steps to reproduce? Thank you.
Message containing "Finding Packages" can be found in PackageView.java in module java.project. Reassigning. Please assign back if it is not the right component.
Java project has nothing in common with Favorites tab, it's project ui. Peter, please describe the steps to reproduce, thanks. Reassigning according to Bundle key is not very sophisticated evaluation. "Finding packages" key is used by package view when source root in package view is expanded. The PackageView needs to find out all folders under the source root (recursive traversal of folder) which may take time.
