Java – NetBeans keep transferring Maven repository indexes, even if I have disabled it
Although I have set index update frequency to never:
NetBeans often try to transfer Maven repository indexes, which consumes a lot of bandwidth:
Is this OK if I select the "disable indexing completely" option? It says it is not recommended and many features will be limited What features will be severely limited?
Solution
>The latest version of dependency control POM may not be available as you type Space in version tag in XML file. > The "search dependency in Maven repository" function in the java editor may not find the dependency you are looking for
In NetBeans 8.2, I chose "disable indexing completely", which applies to me except for the above
I can understand why I don't recommend it, but I don't have enough space on my SSD drive It has been repeatedly downloading the index in a loop
