Is this a bug report for Java Development Tools (JDT)?

I could not get answer from the reporter, but it seems to relate to Java Development Tools (JDT).
Would you please check it?

I'm not sure if it is building a Java project or a project with another nature.

Baskaran, can you please provide more info on what type of project you were building?

Note given that the way that the "cancel" mechanism is implemented, it requires the cooperation of the underlying job. Depending on what task is running, the job may not check whether it needs to cancel for an extended period. When that happens, you can get the behavior that you are seeing.

As long as the job eventually finishes (or checks whether needs to cancel and does so) I suspect this is simply expected behavior.

Closing as WORKSFORME. Please re-open if you believe the above description does not match your situation.

Verified for 3.4M7 that Mcq's explanation makes sense.
