Disable Netbeans 6.0.1 auto-update information generation

[Eran Levy]

Hello,
I'm currently developing RCP application based on the Netbeans platform. Each time I'm running my Suite or Build my modules, it tries to generate information for Auto-Update, which takes quite a long time.
You might familiar with the following message:
"netbeans:
Generating information for Auto Update... "
While debugging it can drive you crazy...
I'm running Netbeans 6.0.1 on Windows XP platform. I tried to add the "-J-Dnetbeans.full.hack=true" command option but it didn't solve the said problem. I added this option to the Netbeans etc\netbeans.conf file and tried also to add to the shortcut (netbeans.exe ...).

Do you have any idea?

Hi Eran,

Look at a post on my weblog
http://blogs.sun.com/rechtacek/entry/how_to_customize_plugin_manager.
Maybe switch -J-Dplugin.manager.check.updates=false could solve your
problem.

No. It's right. It should work. I don't why it doesn't work for you.
I'll try it on my NetBeans6.0 before long and let you know.

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

I just installed Nb 6.0.1 with XP 64 bit and get the same behaviour. The old Nb 6.0 dose not take so long.

Yes, exactlly, but that's quite strange that there is no way to disable it.
Guys, any other recommendation?

Thx

I haven't looked into the issue myself, but if you go into your NB install directory and find the
harness directory. You'll find there a few ant scripts which are used to perform these tasks. You
should be able to make a couple small changes to make it skip the creation of this stuff based on
a property in your property file. It sounds like if someone did it it would be a good patch for
every one if it could get included with the issue which was setup.
