I created to issues in JIRA about this thread: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-514 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-516
Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva 2018-03-21 19:54 GMT-03:00 Derik Devecchio <[email protected]>: > My first message was not fully baked and my intended meaning was missed. > > I was trying to point out that after 1-2 years of use, my Netbeans 8.1 > cache was still a reasonable size, ~140 MB. From my one data point, I > don’t see that there is a cache problem at all. Only a Maven Index problem > which is a different beast. Are other people’s “large cache” problems also > tied to use of maven central’s 2.5GB index? There may be some people that > consider even 140 MB of cache data to be a problem. > > Thanks Emilian for pointing me to the “on line” plugin for maven to avoid > using the local index. My alternative was to copy the one maven-central > library that I still use to our local repository, but this plugin idea > seems much more elegant way to manage this. > > As for the size of the maven index, Gili asked about the downsides of > using the plugin by default. Maybe the default should be to not use an > indexer at all. Projects that are available in a maven repository > frequently publish the POM entry in a copy/paste format right in the > “downloads” section. I have never had to rely on autocompletion in a POM > file to get my work done. My maven usage may be atypical. > > — > derik > > > > On Mar 21, 2018, at 12:08 AM, Emilian Bold <[email protected]< > mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > I have used NetBeans 8.1 on my Mac of at least a year, maybe 2.
