I have about 2 dozen total projects, all of which are ant projects and mostly old. I only have 5 projects open at this time and that is fairly common. the others are either dormant or very stable.

I did start a very simple "hello world" sort of maven project a few months ago when I thought I would have to learn it. I never did much with it and have long ago deleted it when I decided I didn't need maven after all. When I first startyed it, maven did build its local repository which took a very long time. I think I have seen it update that at least once since then.

I get the impression maven is checking on updates or something from the past but no way to determine what or why.

thanks for the suggestion

Was the project created as a Maven project?  Is so it may start up as such and may check on dependency updates to repositories.

Maybe as simple as recreate as Ant project and move source and ant files over.

    I added Maven to my Netbeans 12.0 on Linux on advice that I needed to

    I will be staying with it. Meanwhile Maven seems to be the culprit
    that
    slows down Netbeans startup. Before Maven it would start from scratch
    very quickly, it seems like 15 or 20 seconds. Now it takes over a
    minute, sometimes even longer. I think it might be updating its
    repository or something. Meanwhile I have the same OS and Netbeans
    on my
    laptop with a much slower processor and disc and it comes up much
    quicker than the desktop. I also have Netbeans 8.2 on the same
    desktop
    but without Maven and it still loads much quicker.

    Is there a way to completely remove Maven from Netbeans? I can't even
    find it in the list of plugins.

    Thanks,
