Netbeans 6.5, Scala 2.7.2 For example, type "if (3+" The editor would then lock up for at least 15 seconds (Athlon64 3000+, 2GB of RAM, 1GB of free physical RAM), and then it underlines my code in red - of course that would happen, because I haven't finished typing. It seems that in some cases, the plugin needs to invoke the Scala compiler in order to inspect for errors as I type - is it possible to introduce a "pause delay" where absolutely no error checking is performed except after X seconds of editor inactivity? As a palliative measure, is it possible to have an option to turn off calling Scala compiler altogether, even at the expense of losing code inspection?
Normally I'd expect an IDE to call the compiler from time to time, but this pause is longer than anything I have experienced in a Java IDE to the point it becomes extremely annoying. I'm working around it by typing my code within comments, and then when I think it's done, uncomment the code. It negates a lot of nice features an IDE provides, like on-the-fly highlighting. However, without doing so it's driving my nuts.
