Re: Re: How I plan to move forward.

Well, as far as IntelliJ is concerned i found that classpath searching is
very fast. It indexes all classpath jars as they are added/changed which
makes the finding stuff fly. This was one of the issues i first came accross
when i started to implement the IntelliJ plugin but soon came to realise
that was not really a problem in my case.

I know that we can't count on every IDE to have indexing and caching and
fast classpath resources searching, but still, don't think that Spindle
should follow a different direction because of this. It should be each
implementation responsability to make ISearch as fast as possible, and
Spindle responsability to not "abuse" of it's use.

Cheers
