When you start a Jackpot query, you get a progress task "Reading project..." in the status bar with progress percentage. OK but when you click on it to look at it, you see *two* tasks: 1. "Reading project..." with no detail information and an indeterminate bar. 2. "Reading project..." with "detail" info always "Locating Java files..." (useless) and a determinate progress bar. I would expect to see a single task, preferably with a determinate (%) progress bar, with meaningful progress messages such as "Locating Java files in project X" or "Parsing package org.netbeans.modules.x".
Yes, I agree. Having two tasks is a bug (probably neglecting to close the first monitor after the first task completes). The locating java files message is harder to let go of, as once I have a specific file count from all the projects (which involves searching all the source directory trees) I can provide a very accurate determine progress bar. Perhaps it would be better to have a courser scale, however, something like: locating files, parsing, symbols, types, query1 [query2, etc.], commit. For large projects, though, there wouldn't be any movement during these phases. I talk with our UI designer about our options.
The old Jackpot module is no longer maintained. There is a rewrite in progress at: http://bitbucket.org/jlahoda/jackpot30/wiki/Home
