Description Tomas Danek 2008-12-16 14:52:57 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200812160201)
Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11
System: Linux version 2.6.27-9-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Userdir: /tmp/ud
-------------------
- start ide with fresh userdir
- create maven project
- try to add library dependency -> add library is still showing searching, because most likely downloading of index is
still in progress. User who is not aware how exactly maven works does not know (s)he has to wait till download of index
is completed, but sees "searching..." (which can last for minutes..). Solution would be to disable query, or to show
information message instead of searching in this case.

not sure if this is worth fixing, the main progress bar shows the repos are being downloaded, maybe just show a warning
in the dialog?

at the same time I'd like to get rid of the "NO results" node when the search is actually going on.. the blinking
searching label is not as visible as the "no results" node and I get very often confused by these.

Fixed in 7.0 as a part of issue 190182.
