This is Maven Central. It has nothing to do with the size of your project.
If I remember correctly, the unpacked index of Maven Central is over 2GB.
Maven support in Netbeans could certainly use some work, especially when
it comes to indexing the repository (local and remote) which is
extremely slow. I won't go further into details because I believe this
topic has been beaten to death in the past. Everyone hate this part of
using Netbeans.

One quick datapoint.
I have used NetBeans 8.1 on my Mac of at least a year, maybe 2. Upon
investigation 2.49 GB of the 2.63 GB that were in my cache were located in
maven indexes/central/. I have only use one library in Maven Central (others
are in a local repository). I was unaware that adding that small project
(less than 10 classes) was causing maven to chew up almost 2.5 GB of HDD space.

Hey Victor,,
of Course the Folders are needed, but sure maybe not that hidden. Afail,
IntelliJ, WebStorm, PHPStorm or vscode, makes the way like I already know it
from a lot of other enviroment stuff, they use a .folder for the stuff. So
.intelliJ, .webstorm, .vscode so this is more common as .vmware makes this or
.git. Sure those Folders are still hidden, but we are developers, we should
know about it or we should find it via Google easily to see those Folders if
needed.
So maybe this could be am enhancement to have the Folder here:
C:\Users\Me\.netbeans instead of C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\NetBeans and
C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans.
The plugin Cache eraser works quite nice within NetBeans, I tested it, but
sure, it could Show you the index and how big it is and what files are inside
of it and and and. But it is working as expected.
Cheers

Betreff: Re: Netbeans cache and configurations
@cowwoc
I was debugging and hacking lombok, and so making Netbeans crazy. I won't
go through the details in this thread to not hijack it and I will answer
something in the other one soon. However (lombok aside) it is rare for me
to get Netbeans confused about something, it was much more common some
years ago.
Also, I understand about the security stuff, but I guess that this should
be optional. If Alice and Bob cooperatively programs in the same computer
both with their own users, then if Alice installs a (say) Jenkins plugin,
Bob shouldn't be required to download it once again. Also, if Alice
compiles that maven project with millions of dependencies that downloads
the internet, it would be a pain if later, Bob have to do it all over
again. So, maybe there could be a setting somewhere to say (a: "I use
Netbeans exclusively within my user account"; b: "I want to share my
Netbeans with other users accounts of this computer").
@Antonio
I'm somewhat a newbie here and don't know yet how to file a JIRA issue, but
will find out how to do that. It seems that we have two issues here: the
cache-purge issue and the user-sharing issue, so I would file two. Wouldn't
it be marked as a dup to @Валера's bug on bugzilla?
Also, I downloaded the old plugin and gave a look at it and it is not what
I expected because: (1) It asks the user to tell the path where the
Netbeans cache is instead of finding it out that by itself; (2) It do not
knows or care if the user are really telling the truth and will delete all
the files in the given path, even if it has nothing to do with the Netbeans
cache; (3) It takes no measures whatsoever to protect NetBeans from
shooting itself in the foot or something like that other than just asking
the user to save everything and warning that it could cause abnormal IDE
termination; (4) It also relies on an (optional) external file unlocker
program that should be provided by the user to ensure forcefully deletion
of files.

[big complaint removed for the sake of space]
Please file an issue in JIRA and label it as an enhancement.
So, I'll question if there is a easy way to purge the cache from the
inside
of the IDE that I'd overlloked so far for whichever reason? If not, would
it be a good idea to add that? Also, is there a way to rate-limit it to
avoid it consuming too much disk space?
It's probably not easy to purge the cache while running. We could devise
a way to delete/clean it up when the IDE exits, or when it starts.
I am very far from knowning the gory details of NetBeans internal stuff,
so
I am afraid that I am just talking bullshit here and this is a big
misunderstanding, sorry if this is the case. However, even if this is the
case, I would likely to know nonetheless.
This is not bullshit. It's a nice feature, IMHO.
Some other IDEs have this feature as well. XCode, for instance, is able
to delete some internal directories it uses, and that get in the way _all_
the time.
I'd like to have a feature where you could see how much cache you're
using and to remove it somehow. Also a list of previous NetBeans version
directories could be provided, with proper delete buttons also.
It is not just me that hit this issue. Google for "netbeans cache" and
most
of the results will be from people asking about how to clear the cache
because NetBeans got confused or something like that. There is even an
old
plugin called "Cache Eraser".
Ah, so we had a plugin for that.
