Description Mike Wilson CLA 2013-01-09 15:20:32 EST 
Pointing the crawling search at a directory that contains upward symlinks will cause it to run forever.

This isn't a big issue, except that it's also not currently possible to cancel the crawl once it's started.

We should think about this in 4.0. In more and more cases we are using crawler now.

fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=4bbc5a477c5250da7f2a460e814f0ae250fee79f.
Added cancel button in the status popup and the capability to cancel the crawling search.
