UML tool in Netbeans is very slow
Well I finally decided to document some of the java classes in Model Manager.
I failed.
It appears Netbeans has a performance issue as the UML projects get larger the responsiveness of netbeans gets worse.
I had to submit this bug against Netbeans.
For some reason each click in Netbeans triggers a scanning of the XML document. As this document gets larger the scanning gets slower. Never mind the fact it only uses 1 of my 4 cores.
I looked into the actual UML project and the etd file is over 32 Mb. No wonder it takes a while to scan.
Edit: the issue has been fixed in Netbeans 6.1 beta version.
