This bug was originally marked as duplicate of bug 225034, that is already resolved. This bug is still valid, so this seems to be another bug, but it might be related. Build: NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540) VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, 25.5-b02, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.8.0_05-b13 OS: Windows 7 User Comments: Project2100: Netbeans slowed to a crawl while using autocomplete feature, trying to close it ntified me it will interrupt "Downloading HTTP Javadoc". Not even unplugging the ethernet cable on my pc stopped that Stacktrace: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded at java.util.Arrays.copyOfRange(Arrays.java:3658) at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:201) at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1956) at java.util.StringTokenizer.nextToken(StringTokenizer.java:352) at org.netbeans.core.startup.layers.BinaryFS.findResource(BinaryFS.java:199) at org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileSystem.findResourceOn(MultiFileSystem.java:469)

Looking at the threads, there is activity in "Editor Parsing Loop (201408251540)" and "org.netbeans.api.java.source.ui.ElementJavadoc". Also most of the memory is occupied by 778K instances of com.sun.tools.javac.util.List. Passing to Java. Btw. the OOME was thrown from from datasystems, but there is 2200 instances of DataObject which is probably sane number.
Strange, seems like a JDK's src.zip is on the classpath of some of your projects.
