Re: [platform-dev] Impact of Windows Defender and Eclipse startup
|
Note that the particular issue mentioned happend on a computer with a
McAfee virus scanner. I think that in this case p2 may not assume that a
file is available directly after unpacking, or something like that. Only
after it is really there, i.e. unlocked, it should be moved. And indeed,
this thread made me point to the virus scanner when I saw this error in
the event log.

I believe this problem also affects p2, sometimes with very bad
consequences beyond just being slow. E.g., p2 often downloads things
to a temporary location then p2 immediately moves the file when the
download is complete. When a virus scanner is busy scanning the file
such that it's temporarily locked, the move will fail. This causes
the installer to fail and causes updates to fail. The following
appears to be an example of that:

TL;DR - Windows Defender adds 1.5 minutes or more to Eclipse launch
Same situationin our company. Windows defender blocks not only Eclipse
startup,but also kicks in when we start a new RCP session from our
development IDE. Then I guess it is scanning the jars of the target
platform.
Interesting thing is that this does not happen all the time. Sometimes
it happens on the first Eclipse startup after a reboot, sometimes after
hours of working. I work with multiple IDE instances at the same time,
frequently starting RCP debug sessions. From a gut feeling I would say
that scanning happens 1 out of 10 times.
And when it happens it is really annoying. Eclipse for Platform
developers takes 5 minutes to start on a modern laptop with SSD.
As our users also complain a lot about the slowliness of Eclipse I
would love if there were a way to teach windows defender that these
jars can be trusted somehow.
