[iam-dev] Very slow project open ...

[Morris Jones <mojo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need help troubleshooting this problem.  Perhaps a pointer to a q4e 
log file.

It sometimes takes me 20-30 minutes to open a project with many 
dependencies in Eclipse.

The q4e Events window shows a series of transfers for each dependency 
package, first from our local repository, then twenty seconds later from 
the central repository.  As a result, each package requires a minimum of 
20 seconds.  This looks suspiciously like a connection timeout.

Maven builds from the command line have no trouble acquiring resources 
from the local repository.  Since I assume both q4e and command line are 
using the same settings.xml and local repositories, I can't see any 
reason for this difference.  The URL and credentials should be identical.

In every instance, the q4e plug-in is clearly transferring files from 
the repository that are already in my local repository.  No transfer 
should be required.

I'll mention that I'm running on Vista, and to get Maven to work the way 
I expected, it was necessary to manually define user.home at Java 
startup to keep it from trying to make a repository in the Admin home 
directory instead of my own.

Any suggestions on how I might diagnose this problem?  Clearly something 
is failing ...

Best regards,
Mojo
