I have noticed that when using the Ant editor in Eclipse, occasionally I get huge freezes (30 seconds or more). With the help of my trusty packet sniffer, I have traced this to the fact that my Ant script has references to a networked filesystem. It seems that when I'm not running the build file, just sitting there editing, the plugin is *continuously executing*, reaching out to the network file system to resolve the fileset. And the fileset is both deep and large.
I presume that this behavior is in order to resolve the build file for code completion, property value tooltips, syntax errors, etc. This is a Good Thing. However, attempting to go out and traverse huge filesets in the name of code completion is a seriously dysfunctional behavior. I have stronger words but I'll leave it at that :) Probably we can blame the plugin rather than Ant core, but I wasn't sure so I ask here first. First, does anyone know how to disable this behavior while using the Ant plugin in Eclipse? Second, what is the best place to file this bug? This is Ant 1.7.0 in Eclipse 3.4.
