Re: Netbeans 6.7 stalling while starting to write an instance method name

Hello,

That sounds pretty annoying. We had several performance problems in 6.7
dev builds wrt. code completion, but they should be fixed in 6.7 final
(apparently that is not the case). I would really appreciate if you
could take a profiler snapshot for this and send it to me, please see

http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteworthyMilestone2NB67#section-NewAndNoteworthyMilestone2NB67-ProfileMeNow

for instructions - start profiling before invoking the code completion
popup and stop it after the window is displayed. Note that you
need to activate the Java Profiler plugin first (in Tools -> Plugins) to
see the profile button.

Before doing that, please make sure that Enchanced Type Inference in
Tools -> Options -> Misc -> Ruby is off.

Thanks in advance!

Erno

I'm currently writing a method that creates new jobs based on data from elsewhere, so the method creates a new job, manipulates it and then returns it.
