Bug: update index progtess blocks (maven) builds

[cforce]

InstaSearch must run the update index in background non blocking.
Currently i observe the process is blocking maven build processes. I see that when i toggle "show sleeping and system opertaions" in progress>perferences view. The maven build is blocked- until i terminate the index update of instaSearch .then mkaven build start immediatley.

Spring STS 3.7.0, Eclipse Luna SR2 4.4.2

Hi,
it is running in the background so its surprising that its blocking another job.
On the other hand indexing is incremental and shouldn't take a long time. Unless you do a full re-built of the index.

As far as I know maven build in m2e possibly runs in UI thread, so it may be for other UI events to finish.

Any way, this should be issue of Eclipse itself, and there are some raised tickets already
like Bug 427762 - m2e makes Eclipse useless while dependency are downloaded -> smarter import required

@cforce Fabi, could you try the latest STS , that is based on Mars release.

I uninstalled as i found out that STT supports fulltext index search via Strg-Shift-L on board

Was the issue still there for you?

Update: I can confirm this behavior ... if a instasearch index update is running all "launchers" are waiting for a "operation remaining". It would be cool if the index update could be run completely in the background :)

This happens a lot to me, mostly upon Git Checkout - when switching to another branch. Afterwards the new branch has to wait quite a long time for the indexing to finish (which is further slowed down by the antivirus software) and only after that does eclipse run the compilation. :(
