netbeans "Please wait - classpath scanning in progress..."

When i try to compile netbeans projects i get this message/error : "Please wait - classpath scanning in progress..."

and nothing happens , its like you have have to wait for enternity to conmpile "hello world"...

Now the first thing is that we have moved to a new office building, but the laptop is the same. It's a very secure enviroment with a lot of "security", can't connect anywhere almost. Also i have changed the user dir in netbeans.conf to save my data in c:\Program Files\User

Any ideas how to fix this? alrady tried reinstalling netbeans, changing save location between standart and newone...

In my case, when adding JavaFX libraries in my project: properties >> libraries >> Compiler Tab >> Classpath option, I have accidentally added my root user (C:\users\paulo) along with the JavaFX jar files. That was making NetBeans to scan basically my whole harddisk. The solution was very simple: just to go back there in properties >> libraries >> Compiler Tab >> Classpath option >> Edit button and deleted that "c:\users\paulo" and almost immediately the scanning processes went away.

I followed Andreas-d advise... after disabling the antivirus and restarting netbeans everything is back to normal.

I deleted all the files under the .netbeans/7.0/modules directory. Although I lost some configurations of the IDE, it started to work pretty fine.

This seems interesting issue as per you have specified ! Somewhere, the netbeans documentation writes that the issue has already been resolved. However, for your information please have a look on : Scanning Project Classpaths takes too long

This link may or may not be helpful to you. But, the discussion may provide chance to resolve it.

Thank you.

Just some ideas to find the problem

  • Look at the CPU - is netbeans busy (100% on one core) or blocking (95% idle)?
  • Standard, ant or maven build? Where are your libraries and do you use absolute or relative paths?
  • Start with a simple "hello world" project (no dependencies), then add one lib (log4j or something similiar), located in a project folder and - if this works - move that lib to other locations (choose locations similiar to the libs on the real classpath)

There is a chance, that you don't have access rights to the folders/shares that contain your libraries. Or, as you mentioned security, that some virus scanner blocks access to some highly dangerous libs...
