How to disable automatic parsing. This feature was present in older release.But the setting no longer exists in the Java
Editor settings.

If there is any work around , please advice.

Thanks

Would be good to know the usecase for disabling the parsing.

Comment 2 _ gtzabari 2008-01-08 21:10:01 UTC

Here is my use-case :) http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=124896

In my specific case implementing #124896 would be enough for me, though others might have other use-cases.

Comment 3 Jan Lahoda 2008-01-08 23:22:29 UTC

I have put a comment to issue #124896 - sorry, but disabling parsing for this seems a bit "ineffective" to me.

Comment 4 _ moser 2008-01-09 11:54:18 UTC

Not a use-case for disabling but for allowing a longer delay:

Everytime I start a single-class compilation in a Freeform project, the Ant-thread (or process) and the thread for
*immediate* reparsing (after save in this case) fight hard for resources. The result is that compiling a single class
outside NB with Ant (same target and class) takes reliably much less time than the same from inside NB (e.g. 3 instead
of 10 secs for a 200 lines class). I have (repeatedly) inspected the active threads in NB on single-class compilation
and always found the "Java Source Worker Thread" active ((priority 6, stacktraces attached). Btw, "exec_null_1" - the
thread for the Ant task has priority 4!

It might be a better solution to automatically defer the implicit auto-compilation after any expicitely requested task
(if that does not actually depend on it) or at least the implicit auto-compilation should run with lower priority.

Note, that I'm using Build 200801080000, but the observation I made in the plain NB6 FC, too.

Another use case is simple.. I want the errors to take longer so they don't distract me while I'm typing.  Often when I'm typing I'll stop for a second or two to 
find what I want to pass as an argument etc..  Forgive me if I'm wrong but I see no way to make that possible right now.  Especially with simple syntax errors 
like no semicolon.  Sure I'd like to know about it if I leave it a second or so later.. but if I'm working on the line I don't have to be reminded of something so 
trivial.
