(was: I have tested importing the wildfly distribution using Eclipse 4.4.1/JBT 4.2.0.CR1

Test case 1:
When excluding all the m2e/JBT Maven configurators, suspending all the WTP validators and disabling the "Auto Share EGit" projects (unchecking all the three checkboxes in Window>Preferences>Team>Git>Projects), importing the wildfly distribution takes 5-6 minutes. Since that operation creates and compiles 50+ Eclipse projects, I think, it can't be significantly improved.
Cleaning/rebuilding all the projects lasts about 3 minutes.

Test case 2:
When including the m2e/JBT maven configurators and the default WTP validators, disabling the "Auto Share EGit" projects, importing the wildfly distribution lasts less than 15 minutes. 
Cleaning/rebuilding all the projects takes about 6-8 minutes. 

Test case 3:
If all the validators and the m2e/JBT configurators are included and the "Auto Share EGit" projects enabled, importing the wildfly distribution takes less than 20 minutes.
EGit doesn't significantly affect cleaning/rebuilding projects. 

In these cases, Eclipse requires less than 1GB Java heap space.

As I can see, there is noticeable improvements in Eclipse 4.4.1/JBT 4.2.0
I encounter issues in the test case 3 when there are more .git directories in the hierarchy and there is .git in a directory with a lot of entries. On Linux, such a situation can happen when using symbolic links.
If EGit finds the .git directory, it will scan the complete hierarchy which can slow down Eclipse/JBDS/JBT or even lock it.

In my opinion, we should advice users to disable the "Auto Share EGit" projects and maybe even, to disable this property in JBDS using plugin_customization.ini.)
