Annoying repeating message 'Building workspace' on status bar after I version controlled a project [message #1396046]

- Eclipse Luna 4.4.0 (Build id: 20140612-0600)

After I added my first project to version in Eclipse using EGit I'm seeing an annoying message on the bottom status bar saying 'Building workspace' from every 10 seconds or so. I really have no idea why this is happening. The only thing that I know is that I can't live with this because it is annoying and distracting. If I can't fix this I will use git in the command line and abandon EGit.

How can I get rid of this?

Thank you.

Marcos

Try to set all files in your project (or even workspace, if there's more
than just your project) to be read-only. See what happens. It's a long
shot, but maybe you get something in the error log that gives an indication.

This isn't caused by EGit.
Switch off auto-build here "Project > Build Automatically"

Hmm, well I guess he still wants auto build, but it seems to be
triggered too often.

This is not a solution to me because I still want to build automatically.

Good idea. I did this, but unfortunately no error is raised. When I disconnect the Project (Context Menu > Team > Disconnect) the problem goes away, the workspace in only built if I change something, as usual.

This is very frustrating to say the least. Eclipse should provide a way for the user to see what's triggering the workspace build. I've been studying git and EGit for the last two weeks to use it for the first time and now this EGit plugin is getting on the way and we have no clue what to do.

I think there's a way called 'tracing':

Create a file named .options (In windows create options.txt and then
rename) in your eclipse directory. Put the lines below in there and run
your eclipse.

Not every option might be needed, I have no idea how much this will
print, but it might tell you finally what causes your project to be
built :) You may want to redirect eclipse output to a file.

org.eclipse.core.resources/debug=true

Oh, and I forgot to say that you need to run eclipse with the option -debug

Also probably set the one below to true:

org.eclipse.core.resources/build/stacktrace=true

But I don't see any clues or hints where the problem lies. Auto-Builds are requested all the time, but the needsBuild is always false as you can see. I think that this bug is related:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=344090

Although in this bug they're not using EGit. Also I think that there's no solution there.

Any ideas?

That means that you don't actually have a problem and I wasted a bit of
time :)

I haven't had looked ever before but I can now confirm you that I get
the same messages blinking up. The difference seems to be you staring at
the task bar and me staring at the things I need to get done more in the
central area of my screen.

I don't know why auto-build needs a timer, I thought it was based on
resource change events, but tbh, I don't care.

Maybe you didn't realise how your second paragraph was a bit unprofessional. Anyway, if you cannot be distracted by a status bar flickering almost all the time with a message that doesn't add anything to your work, I admire your concentration. In my point of view this is by no way normal and there's a problem going on with Eclipse regarding this. Contrary to what you said, even if someone is looking at the central area of the screen, he still will see the message blinking up.

For the time being I'll abandon EGit and try the command line git. If someone on the Eclipse team has a solution to this and want to share, I'll be grateful.

This is really not right (maybe the processing in the background, but not the useless and distracting message to the user)

Thank you.

Perception is different for everyone. I had never noticed it before.

I have just tested with a disconnected Java Project and can also confirm
that the Message does not blink up in this case. However, the tracing
console still shows the auto build requests. The only explanation I
might have is that maybe the job manager has more stuff to do when EGit
is active and thus shows slightly different behavior.

In my opinion, I think that Eclipse (by the way, any IDE) should have the idea and concept of what notifications should be relevant to the user. If some plugin needs to do lots of processing internally to accomplish its responsabilities the end user should not pay the price because of this.

When we save some java file in the workspace and auto build is enable of course we want to be notified in the status bar that there's a build going on, but in this case as the debug message points out:

Tue Jul 08 14:55:53 GMT-03:00 2014 - [Worker-5] Auto-Build requested,
needsBuild: false state: 4 delay: 100

you can even see that needsBuild is false. I mean, if there was a distinguishing of what messages are relevant to show to the user or not, a message for a thing like this would not be displayed because it doesn't add any relevant information to the end user (and in my case, as I percept the message, annoys as well).

This has something to do with the current EGit/JGit release 3.4.1. The problem exist only after connecting a project with EGit 3.4.1 without EGit or using Egit 3.2 everything is OK. (Eclipse version 3.8.2)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=439325 was fixed so you need to upgrade to the nightly build to get the fix.
This fix will be included in EGit 3.5 which we plan to release on Sept 24.
