For a good number of folk 6.7's project scanning performance is such a big step backwards that a 6.7 release without fixing it seems like a sure way to make up Oracle's mind for them -- the release would kill NetBeans for them whether they want to or not. Otherwise, however, I agree. If the NetBeans team could focus on actually getting this project scanning and source navigation/completion to be as fast as possible and for scanning not to disable navigation (as it is impossible to scan fast enough for really large projects so that the scan time is not a noticeable stumbling block to one's work otherwise), then I see really great things for it. There seems to be many users on nbusers who like me have been waiting since R4 for this to be addressed. During this time it's been at best 1 step forward and 2 back with each release (not 2 forward and 1 back, mind you. All the other language support does not mean a thing if it stumbles on the most basic and critical Java IDE functionality. -- Jess Holle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
