Description Maria Tishkova 2007-01-10 15:57:26 UTC 
Here is the problem description:
I have a project which is time expensive to parse (let's say about 20 minutes).
I am opening some file and opening quick navigator ==> if file is not parsed yet
the list will be empty and it is kind of annoying. Even if I will edit file I
will have empty list until saving.

Meanwhile if I will invoke code completion or hyperlink in this file it will be
parsed (popped in the queue) and quick navigator list will be filled in very
quickly.

From the user point of view opening file in editor is the signal to parser to
parse this file faster and show quick navigator filled in (in NetBeans when you
open Java source file Navigator will show classes/methods even if you will not
touch source file)
Comment 1 Leonid Lenyashin 2007-01-10 16:16:33 UTC 
I'd agree that opening in the editor is the right signal to raise priority of
the file for parser. I'd also suggest to consider the event of switching editor
tab to a file to be the highest priority signal for parser.
Comment 2 Alexander Pepin 2007-12-24 19:53:55 UTC 
No such component any more.
Comment 3 Vladimir Kvashin 2007-12-24 22:00:30 UTC 
The quick navigator component does not exist any more; but the problem does.
The same behavior is observed with the standard Navigator.
(So I changed the title and reopened instead of creating a new issue, since the issue is *exactly* the same)
Comment 4 Vladimir Kvashin 2008-09-16 22:31:30 UTC 
Yes, it wold be fine to solve this.

However, since the time the issue was filed parsing speed improved immensely; right now I opened MySQL on my laptop and
it was parsed within 43 seconds.

So now we consider other processes (such as finding references) as slow ones, and make efforts to seed them up; while
the time of initial parsing nearly doesn't matter - it's just fast enough.

That's why I don't believe this deserves P3.
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2009-12-21 05:38:25 UTC 
This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
