Description

« Hide

While the "Compiling UI forms..." is running, the GUI of IDEA does not get repainted - everything just goes gray if you drag a window over IDEA (see the picture). Also the compiling of the UI forms takes lots of time. I've attached a CPU snapshot of compiling six form files and about two dozen classes.

After the UI form compiling is completed, the program is again responsive. Is the compiling done in the AWT event thread or is something else blocking it?

Indeed, because of IDEA's threading archivecture, source code generation for UI forms needs to be performed in the AWT thread. I hope that it can be fixed in a future version, but the problem is much broader than this specific issue.
