Index Update Frequency option vs. downloading maven index

My host got stuck in a longlasting process of downloading and unpacking maven repository index, which I had previously (about week ago) tried to avoid by switching it off. Unsuccessfully though... as you can see in the attached screen.


Regards,
Paweł

The switch has only effect on updates. If the index is not there in the first place it will reattempt the download. Did you have the index in place before?
Comment 2 pablo53 2012-09-05 11:13:00 UTC 
Yes, of course. All indices have already been there.

The problem has returned today...

can you zip the content of the ~\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\dev\mavenindex folder (on windows, on other platforms the location is platform specific) and attach it to the issue?

I'm especially interested if you have a nexus-maven-repository-index-updater.properties and timestamp files in subdirectories.

I see this issue as well. Even if I set "Index Update Frequency" to "Never", it has no effect as NB still starts indexing our local team repository as soon as you build a maven project. The mavenindex folder for our team repository (after the process finishes) contains 11.5 GB, and while the process is running the computer becomes close to unusable.

From my point of view, "Never" should really be Never. Being without "intellisense" functionality is a price I'm prepared to pay for having a computer that is usable at all times... :)

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
