Windows XP Service Pack 2 JKD 1.5 update 3 Netbeans version 4.1 build 200505031930 Steps to repeat: 1. New Project->General->Java Application 2. Pick name and location of main app->Click Finish IDE first comes up with Initializing parsing of rt.jar. The progress bar goes maybe 3 notches before it then starts the repetative Scanning Project Classpaths message box with the message Initializing scanning please wait. This message box comes up about every 2 seconds for about a half second and does this indefinitely. I have waited 20 minutes and it does not stop.
Not sure if this is appropriate, but the tool is unusable in this state. Updating the priority to P2.
reassigning to java module for evaluation
Please provide more information. Attach ide.log and create some thread dumps during repetitive Scanning Project Classpaths. I cannot reproduce it.
