[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18259) Refresh MBean section keeps blinking in the status bar

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18259?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12999270#comment-12999270 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-18259:
-------------------------------------

We had at one time discussed making it a background / system job, but it was decided that that was poor form, to be constantly doing things without the user knowing. 

I'll defer to [~maxandersen] to make a decision on this a second time. 

To be honest, I'm not sure its appropriate for ti to be refreshing the jmx tree so often anyway, but the user does have a setting to customize the duration in the preference pages, which they should make use of.    I would imagine the tree should just refresh if the user requests a refresh, but, jvmmonitor was not coded that way and I haven't had time to dig into the deep parts of its code.

> When you connect to a local process in the JMX Navigator and then check out some mbeans in the Properties view, there will be a "Refresh MBean section" message blinking in the status bar at the bottom of Eclipse every second or so.

> I understand that the tooling must keep refreshing the mbeans list (probably), but it's annoying to keep blinking in the status bar like this. We should probably remove that message.
> A minor issue is that the wording seems odd. Shouldn't it be "Refreshing MBean section..." or something like that? I'm not sure what the convention is here.
