How to control Indexing for Xtext Projects [message #1795642]

Hello,

We have an editor created using Xtext.
Now when we import project into an editor or we click open project, it starts indexing resources of the project.
Can we control this event ? How can we disable this?
I want to trigger this only when I open resource.
Is this possible? and How to achieve this?

Thanks and regards,
Virag Purnam

that a build is started and that then xtext is indexing is part of the xtext build infrastructure.
is there any reason why you would want to do that.
i strongly discurage you from doing that for no real reason

Thanks for the reply.
This one I am trying to reduce the repeated build.
When we open the project or import the project, this triggers a build.
This build result will not be useful for the user, because user wants to modify some files.
Only after modification of files, triggered build results are useful for the user.
Two builds are taking some time, which we want to avoid.

Any suggestions?

Thanks and regards,

no really. of course you could let the user cancel the build but then it would be restarted at the next action.
