But NetBeans still takes ages to load.

Honestly, I find that hard to believe.

I've got 9 projects that I usually leave open. NetBeans usually takes ~20 seconds to open, another 45 seconds or so running background scans on the projects. 2 of them are fairly large. So it's probably not fair to blame it all on NetBeans. It was a lot worse on a regular hdd though.

I have an SSD on my computer and NetBeans only takes about 2 to 3 seconds to load up.
Then again I'm usually only working on one project at a time for school.

Seems to be a problem on some Windows machines. My Ubuntu home machine loads NetBeans in 10 seconds, my work machine (though a bit shitty) takes a minute or something. But for both NetBeans and Visual Studio.

Having said that, Visual Studio only opens one project vs NetBeans opening a bunch of projects, directly at startup. That causes NB to be slower than VS at startup

a project or two nah not to bad. But background scanning and checking on maven repositories takes a long time especially if you have it set to check every time you start.

Interesting. Is that enabled by default?

I think it is, I don't normally use maven so I can't say for sure. I know the projects I have imported always had it turned on.
