How to turn off (disable) SLUGGISH automatic intellisense checking with large nest loops when coding for Java

Question

I simply typed-in 28 nested loops into NetBeans for Java, and netbeans keeps auto-scanning the code, making it very sluggish.

My code is basically empty. I only just setup the 28 for...loop conditions with nothing else inside the loops yet.

But netbeans pauses my cursor... does some sort of auto intellisense thinking for 3 seconds... then gives me control over my cursor for about 1 second before pausing to "think" again.

Is there a way to stop netbeans from automatically losing itself in these automatic, auto-scanning processes? (and I'm NOT talking about during compile/run... I mean, netbeans is sluggish during editing).

Which option can I turn off inside of netbeans to allow me to edit without having to wait for 3 seconds every 1 second?

thanks.

Answer 1

After turning off several options & attempting to place older modules in the netbeans folder (as per NetBeans background scanning projects takes too long) for this version (8.0.2), dumping it altogether and moving to 7.4 fixed this problem (AND, the occasional automatic project file, 'scan' of death)
