Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-20362:
-------------------------------------
I think the solution may be to simply show "Extracting"
without printing out each file/directory that is being extracted.
It's getting to the point where, I feel, it's becoming ridiculous to engage in
workarounds and need to push harder on the upstream issue of Mac being incapable of
handling a lot of progress monitor events. There are many times that the number of
progress monitor status updates that happen is not in my control. There are other times
where I *could* change it, but, it becomes much less useful to the user in general.
Users generally like to see that each file is extracting, to know that something is being
done, and the code hasn't frozen. Changing the monitor to not really show updates
really makes it seem as if it might be stalled and prevents the user from seeing the
progress appropriately.
[~mmalina] Do you have the upstream bug handy? The one related to mac and progress
monitors?
On linux, extraction happens extremely quickly, less than 2 or 3 seconds.
I did notice a small bug in the progress monitor stuff, where I don't appropriately
'start' my initial monitor. I'll be committing a small fix for that. On linux
(at least in my env) it seemed there was no progress monitor, just status updates (no bar
moving across the screen). My one line patch fixes that. Not sure if it'll also fix
your issue but I encourage you to check for CR1.
Extracting of a download runtime is slow
----------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-20362
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20362
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: runtime-detection
Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Beta2
Reporter: Martin Malina
Assignee: Rob Stryker
Fix For: 4.3.x
While playing with the Download runtime fuctionality, I noticed that once a runtime (e.g.
EAP 6.2) is downloaded, the extraction takes very long. I think it used to be fast and the
extraction was done without any progress reporting. But now it seems that every
subdirectory in the archive is being printed out which slows it down.
This extraction process took 1 min 23 sec for EAP 6.2 and I have an SSD. On a command
line, this would take a few seconds.
I think the solution may be to simply show "Extracting" without printing out
each file/directory that is being extracted.
(Furthermore, the progress bar does not reflect the progress - it seems there is still
only perhaps 5 % done and then it's suddenly over.)
I can record a screencast if you like, but I think this should be easy to replicate.
