Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-1412:
------------------------------------------
I don't know much about the complex module system. It is only a
wish/improvement from me, because I thought about it, do to performance/error
researching and I figured out, that deactivated plugins are still scanned and
this has a performance impact in case of some ms and when I have a lot
deactivated plugins, it has an impact of seconds, which has an impact of the
starting time of NetBeans which means performance.
> NetBeans should not scan jars for deactivated plugins
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-1412
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1412
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ide - Performance, platform - Plugin Manager
> Affects Versions: Next
> Reporter: Christian Lenz
> Priority: Major
>
> When I deactivate plugins, they will still be inside the folder
> *C:\Users\Chrl\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\modules*. When opening NetBeans I
> got over 100 warnings of dependencies that will upgraded:
> {code}
> WARNING [org.netbeans.core.modules]: had to upgrade dependencies for module
> arduino: added = [module org.netbeans.modules.projectuiapi.base/1 > 1.78.0,
> module org.openide.filesystems.nb, module org.openide.filesystems.compat8]
> removed = []; details: [Separate projectuiapi into desktop and NetBeans
> independent and dependent parts, Separation of desktop and cleanup]
> {code}
> So yes I installed arduino but I deactivated it. I deactivated a lot more
> like ruby and atmel and all are scanned. So for me, I don't want to deinstall
> those plugins, because I will loose the history of all plugins that I added
> months or years ago.
> So in my understanding, netbeans scans all jars inside of the modules folder
> and this takes time. Not that much, maybe some ms but if you have 150 addons
> installed, like me and NetBeans needs round about 20ms for that jar to scan
> at starting the IDE and give the warning, doesn't matter whether it is
> activated or not, it will increase the starting time. So 150 * 20ms = 3s. Of
> course this is not much but preventable.
> I would prefer to move deactivated plugins into a sub folder called
> deactivated and exclude them from scanning, if this is possible, How does
> that sounds?
> Cheers
