Is this task occurring in the background, or is it preventing you from =

operating JSwat normally? Older versions of JSwat would run the task in =

the foreground, blocking you from doing anything else, but the newer =

versions do not have this problem.

The most recent versions have a checkbox when connecting to a debuggee =

that allows you to ignore the debuggee classpath. That may help reduce =

the amount of scanning that occurs. In general, the scan is supposed to =

cache the results and only do a quick scan for subsequent changes.
