Javac 6.0 too slow using mapped network drive

Hi.
I think that this may be a bug, but may be someone here could help me first.
I have one class repository in my network with about 30,000 classes, all in same package. This repository is used as a network mapped drive in all developers machines. The network works at 100mbps. Everything works fine until now, when I am testing java 6. Currently we are using javac 1.4, and compilation takes about 20 seconds. But with javac 6.0, its taking about 2 minutes. Is ther any hidden option in javac that could help me?
Thanks in advance.

it's indeed a bug, a fundamental bug in your application design as well as your build environment.
A single package for everything? With 30K+ classes in it?
Don't know whether to burst out screaming or laughing...
And building on another machine than the one the sources are stored like that?
Far better to run the build on the same machine you have the files.
Better yet to have the files in source control and have the build system retrieve them as needed.

  • "Mapping Network Drive" equivalent in OSX?

    Help! What am I doing wrong?
    I'm trying to connect to a photocard reader that is built-in to my HP Photosmart 2710 (wireless) printer. My Macbook Pro happily found the printer and set itself up perfectly to print to the HP and show me the ink levels and so on. I was impressed. However trying to connect to the photocard reader is really trying my patience.
    On my Windows XP PC I use "Map Network Drive" and specify "\\192.168.0.2\memory_card" and I'm able to read (and write) to the photo card in the reader.
    On my Macbook, if I use "Go>Connect to Server" and then specify "192.168.0.2\memory_card" I get an error message saying that "afp://192.168.0.2\memory_card" is not available. (same happens if I use a "/" before "memory_card", and if I put "\\" or "//" before "192" too).
    Any suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance.
    Neil

    If your windows pc maps to the printers memory card then it must be using the windows samba sharing protocol.
    So on your mac use the following server address in the connect to server window
    smb://192.168.0.2

  • Enable Recycle Bin on mapped network drives

    A few years ago I discovered how redirected user profile folders in Windows get Recycle Bin protection, even when the folders are redirected to a network location. This was a huge find for me, and I used this feature to add Recycle Bin coverage to some of
    my mapped network drives. I shared this information on another forum here:
    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/16974-Tip-Network-Recycle-bin
    Today I figured out a better way to achieve the same goal that doesn't rely on user profile folder redirection, and am sharing that information for other users to try out. You might want to take a look at these forum topics for additional information:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787939(v=ws.10).aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2012/07/16/managing-the-recycle-bin-with-redirected-folders-with-vista-or-windows-7.aspx
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb882665.aspx
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/10bfcfb9-14f3-434e-9ffa-0289b8b32e01/folder-redirection-recycle-bin
    The standard disclaimer applies - this might break stuff. I've only tested in Windows 8, and my testing is limited. Try this at your own risk.
    This is what I've learned (or think I've learned - I might be wrong):
    Windows Vista and later store the configuration settings for the Recycle Bin for redirected user profile folders in this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder
    Under this key are separate keys for each redirected folder that is protected by the Recycle Bin. The keys contain the configuration information for each protected folder, and are named to match the GUIDs for "Known Folders." A list of the Known
    Folder to GUID mappings is available in one of the links above.
    The registry also contains a list of "known folders" at this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions
    So, I reasoned that if I could create my own custom "known folder," I could add that to the list of folders that were protected by the Recycle Bin and protect any mapped network drive I wanted. So I looked at the list of existing "known folders"
    and created a key that was similar to the Documents key. I then fiddled with the values in the key until I narrowed it down to the minimum number needed to make the recycle bin work.
    This .reg file will protect a mapped X: drive with a ~50GB recycle bin. You should modify the file to fit your needs:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
    "RelativePath"="X:\\"
    "Category"=dword:00000004
    "Name"="XDrive"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\BitBucket\KnownFolder\{9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF}]
    "MaxCapacity"=dword:0000c7eb
    "NukeOnDelete"=dword:00000000
    A few things of note:
    The GUID in the above .reg file {9147E464-33A6-48E2-A3C9-361EFD417DEF} came from this PowerShell command: "{"+[guid]::NewGUID().ToString().ToUpper()+"}"
    Each "known folder"/Recycle Bin combination requires a unique GUID. If you don't want to use PowerShell to generate a GUID, you can use an online GUID generator.
    I don't know what the "Category" value does, but the key I copied had it set to 4, and that works, so I didn't test any other values.
    The "Name" value is required, but is not the name that will be shown if you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select properties. (At least not in my environment.) In my environment, the name that is shown is the name of the network drive.
    Making this change adds a "Location" tab to the properties page of your mapped network drives. I suspect this could be removed by changing the "Category" value, but didn't bother to find out.
    I only tested with mapped network drives. I suspect this would work with UNC paths as well, but I didn't bother testing.
    I hope you're as excited to find this as I was to figure it out. Let me know if this works for you. I now plan to deploy the registry keys with Group Policy Preferences and will update this forum post with any information I discover.
    Best regards
    --Russel
    Update: I am now using Group Policy Preferences to deploy the needed registry keys, and all my mapped network drives are now protected by the recycle bin.
    Update 2: I have tested now with UNC paths, and this works fine. I still use mapped network drives, but if your environment requires UNC paths instead, you can use them. Note however that if you have a mapped network drive that points to a UNC path, and
    you protect the UNC path with a registry change, if a user deletes a file from the mapped network drive that points to that UNC path, the file will be permanently deleted. See below for more details.

    FANTASTIC work Russel !
    This is extremely helpful.

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

    Hi,
    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
    I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
    I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
    I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
    I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
    ''add a local printer;
    'new port'
    'localport'
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
    but still nothing!
    There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
    I Really appreciate your HELP!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
    Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
    Let me know!

  • Location is not available to mapped network drive in Windows 8 using Synology NAS

    Original Thread:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/location-is-not-available-to-mapped-network-drive/ca7eac5c-0e3d-494b-b488-e245978e4db9
    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 standard edition. I have come across a problem when using the option for mapped network drives. Under Windows 7 I would normally map a network drive (Synology NAS) and I could access all files, copy and paste, install
    apps, and link media, all from within the mapped network drive. However, under Windows 8.1 I have come across a couple of problems.
    1. When I try to copy a file from my "Mapped Network Drive" to the C:\Drive (OS Boot Drive), I get the following error,
    "E:\ is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. if the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the
    location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."
    However, if I copy a file from the "NETWORK/Network Location" the file copies just fine with no problems. And, If I also copy a file from a "Added Network Location" the file also copies just fine with no problems. And, if I copy a file from
    my "Mapped Network Drive" to my D:\Drive (non OS Drive), the file copies just fine with no problems.
    2. When I try to install apps from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will sometimes install and sometimes not (I am also choosing the option to run the programs as Administrator). Again if I try to install using either the "NETWORK/Network Location"
    or an "Added Network Location" the apps install just fine with no problems.
    3. When I link media (music or videos) from my "Mapped Network Drive" they will work but once I reboot they no longer work as if they have lost the file path or link of the original source location.
    4. When I use FireFox (browser) and I set my default download dir to my "Mapped Network Drive" it will work once originally set it but after I reboot, it no longer works. However, again if I set the default download dir to either the "NETWORK/Network
    Location" or an "Added Network Location" the default download dir works fine even after reboot.
    While I am able to access my network drive using any of the three options, "Mapped Network Drive", "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network Location" but only "NETWORK/Network Location", and "Added Network
    Location"appear to be reliable. Tbh I would prefer to be able to use my "Mapped Network Drive" in Windows 8 as I have been able to under Windows 7.
    More info:
    I currently have UAC set to "Never Notify".
    I also have Windows 8.1 installed on three different systems and all of them give me the same exact problems. One of the systems is a completely clean install with no 3rd party apps installed.
    Just so its clear I am able to access the "Mapped Network Drive" but unfortunately this method of access appears to be unreliable in Windows 8 but in Windows 7 it works flawlessly.
    If I map a network drive from another pc running windows 7 or 8, I can access and use the mapped drive with no problems. This problem appears to be related to the Synology NAS devices and I have researched the Synology forums but only found one thread about
    the problem, here:
    http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=76687
    I have searched several forums and attempted to pick the brains of my local computer shops for any incite on this problem but I have been unable to find a solution/fix.
    Any help resolving this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, we can temporarily disable the firewall to see whether the issue persists.
    For this issue seems related to the Synology NAS devices, in order to get professional help regarding the product, we can contact the vendor support to see whether the issue
    can be fixed.
    Best regards,

  • How can I get a Powershell script which maps network drives to execute at logon to any workstation in my domain

    I want to map network drives for each user when they logon to any workstation in the network.  I have created and tested the PS1 script which works fine where the drives attach and used persistent parameter.  I have updated the Windows 7 Professional
    64-bit workstation to the latest PS 4.0 code.  I have created the GPO and believe everything is assigned properly.  I made changes to allow execution of local and remote signed scripts.  I have forced the changes on a workstation using GPUPDATE
    /force, but the drives do not connect.  The GPRESULT is as follows which shows the policies are in place as shown below.  
    What am I missing to get the script to execute?

    You picked the local sysvol path on the DC which does not exist on

    The Path to the script MUST be an UNC path starting like

  • Mapped network drive appears empty for all users on one computer

    We have several network drives mapped via a batch file at log in.  On one particular Windows 7 computer one of these drives maps but appears empty.  Manually mapping to the drive and assigning a different drive letter makes no difference but manually
    mapping by entering the IP address allows viewing and accessing the contents.  
    The malfunctioning network drive is also using Hosted BranchCache.  The following settings are set in local group policy:
    (\Network\BranchCache)
    Turn on BrancheCache - Enabled
    Set BranchCache Hosted Cache Mode - Enabled - <servername>
    Configure BranchCache for network files - Enabled - 0
    The servers involved are running Windows Server 2012.
    I am at a loss here and will appreciate any suggestions. 
    ~JuniorG33k "Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?"

    With Offline Files disabled the contents of the mapped drive are visible and accessible.  Unfortunately, Offline Files must be enabled for BranchCache to work.  
    Looking in the Event Viewer at “Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\OfflineFiles\Operational” I can see that the mapped network drive transitioned to slow link during high latency but has never transitioned back.

  • Search for files over a mapped network drive

    Hi,
    At the moment I'm using a simple listFiles with a FileFilter to do a search over a mapped network drive. But the performance is not very good.
    The number of folders and files that need to be searched is rather high, resulting in long waiting times (+5min).
    Is there a way to improve this type of searches?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Hard to say without seeing details. Try to narrow down where it happens.
    One nasty bug in Windows (let's assume you are using it) is that stat'ing all files in a directory is much faster than stat'ing them individually. In other words, if you do something like
        String names[] = directory.list();
        for (name in names) {
            File f = new File(name);
            if (f.isDirectory()) ...
        }that's way slower than:
        File files[] = directory.listFiles();
        for (f in files) {
            if (f.isDirectory()) ...
        }See if you do "new File()" for all files, e.g. in your filter. It will kill your performance. To demonstrate: open a big directory in standard Windows file explorer. Select all files. Right-click & select Properties. Go for lunch while Windows thinks about it. Compare with performance of clicking Properties for the directory instead of a collection of all the files.

  • Map Network drive in Windows 8.1

    Hi Guys,
    I was suffering a weird problem about mapping network drive in Windows 8.1.
    I ran the command "net use ...." to map a network drive and the command was running successfully. Then I used the "net use" command to check the status for the network drive mapped before, it showed good. But when I opened "my computer",
    I couldn't see the network drive mapped before in the explorer.

    Hi,
    After you created the mapped network drive with "net use", are you able to find the mapped driver letter information in the registry HKCU\Network?
    Please also try to map the network drive via GUI tool under Explorer "Map network drive" option, check the result.
    for net use command, please make sure that you've set the correct parameters

  • Workaround for slow Bridge when network drive is inaccessible?

    Hello all,
    Hoping someone has some information regarding an issue I'm having with my workflow and Bridge. I have CS6 installed and am using the 64bit version of Bridge for file management. I work from 2 locations at the moment and have a portable drive that I take with me from place to place with my work files on it. In one location I can plug the drive directly into my system via USB, but in the other location (for various reasons) I have to plug it in elsewhere and access the drive through a network. This all works fine and I have no issues with getting to my files in general. Where I do get an issue however is when I start trying to add shorcuts to the drive within the "Favorites" menu in bridge.
    The short of it is that as long as I have a shortcut to the networked drive in the Favorites menu, Bridge will run EXTREMELY slow when I am at the work location where I am accessing the drive directly. It appears that Bridge is trying to look for the networked drive on all the networked computers at that workplace every time I try to access a file or even use the menu system within Bridge (to right click a file for properties for example). I can alleviate the issue by removing the networked drive from my favorites or disconnecting form the internet (that one is not a practical option however), at which time Bridge stops trying to constantly look for the drive eveywhere and returns to normal speed.
    This isn't a horrible issue for me, it just creaates a lot of repeat work of having to navigate to the network every time I open bridge again at the location where I access the drive remotely, or having to constantly re-add the networked drive back into the favorites every time... then having to remove it again before use at the other location and so on. Is there a way to adjust or change Bridge's behavior to basically tell it that if the specific drive isn't available after the first attempt to ignore it from then on unless I specfically click on the favorites link? Or in lieu of that, is there a way to have alternate "profiles" within Bridge that have seperate favorites etc. so that I can switch back and forth depending on the location I am at?
    Like I said, not a horrible issue, but I really like having the quick, easy access to the drive that the favorite menu provides and would love to have a work around if one is possible. I realize that this setup is not common and so I might just have to deal, but if there is a super user solution or something I can tweak in a config file somewhere I would love to know! Thanks for the input and advice in advance!

    Thanks for taking the time to respond guys! Yeah, I didn't think there would be any easy answer to this one. I actually have never had any issues running Bridge with any network I've been on with the exception of the lag when the network drive isn't present. Or to be more specific, severe lag when the networked drive is stored in favorites and then is absent in a situation where there is another different network of computers present. Don't know if it will help anyone who is trying to connet to a network drive etc. but all I do to get Bridge to "see" the network drive is navigate to the desired network drive or folder in Windows Explorer and then drag the drive or folder icon over from the Windows Explorer browser into my favorites area in Bridge. It drops the network link right into the favorites menu complete with a special network icon for the link. That has proven to be the fastest way for me to get a correct and functional connection to a network drive stored in Bridge. I was doing this with Bridge CS5 as well and it has always worked great for me.
    For my network drive situation specifcally, I actually link to the entire drive as It's used solely for my design work. It's uniquely named with a title specific to me and my business so it definitely wouldn't be sharing a common name with any other drives or folders on another system on the network. I save the link to the network drive in my favorites and then I only ever have to click that to get to the root directory of the drive and navigate to whatever I need. Works great and super fast at the location where I need to use the network drive. Maybe I don't have hiccups like some because my computer has a reserved IP for that network tied to the MAC address of my computer so it is always the same IP every time.
    The functionality I would like is actually very close in Bridge, with the only issue being that it insists on searching other computers on the network after every process it does if the network drive isn't present. The location I work at that doesn't use the network drive setup has 5 computers linked up to their network and so I guess it's scouring each of those every time I do any single thing in Bridge, looking for the long lost network drive lol! I have to confess this is strange behavior and really seems like a bug (albeit maybe a minor one due to the unusual workflow method) to me and Bridge is the only software I have that does this type of behavior. I can't really think of a good reason why you would need Bridge to look for a drive or folder in a location other than the one you have specified in the favorite path for it. I mean what if you have 2 copies of the same folder in different locations for backup purposes? You wouldn't want Bridge taking the initiative on it's own and accessing your backup folder without telling you,  especially if there are legacy versions of a file you wish to retain in the backup location.
    If anyone ends up having a solution for this I would love to hear it! Otherwise I'll just have to hope that Adobe eventually buffs up the network functionality of Bridge down the road and in the meantime add and remove the favorites path all the time. I would think smooth network functionality would be increasingly needful and important however. I mean Adobe even offers a cloud service version of their software... That implies to me that they are aware that more and more work will be done "in the cloud" and over networked scenarios. I have my fingers crossed! Thanks again for the info guys!

  • Windows Server R2 stop working. Cannot map network drive with my Win 7 client.

    Hi to everyone.
    I had a problem for quite some time time and even i tried to solved it till now unfortunately seems unreachable.
    I have a 2008 R2 server which is used as SQL 2005 server. My application program shared from the server. My win 7 client  use a map network drive to access my share folder from my windows server. Suddenly my clients lost my connection. Since then i
    cannot connect to the folder and i got the message
    Windows cannot access \\Server\Storage
    Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
    Details: Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
    I check out my share permissions, all seems ok. I also check out firewall, services, TCP/IP, share folders, really almost everything but still nothing.
    Does anyone have any idea how to resolve the problem.

    Yes what seems to happened is due to virus infections.
    This problem started 2 weeks a go. First i had network connection error with my client. Them my application had respond errors. Finally i lost my network drive.
    I realize that the problem was due to virus. My old antivirus program doesn't s scan any threats so i uninstalled it, and i installed Panta antivirus and i clean up my server and my clients from virus. I am sure that both are clean from virus. My antivirus
    program runs every day with no traces of infections.
    Since then i cannot see my share folders on my server side and i cannot map network drive.
    One thing that i want to avoid is re-installation of windows server 2008 R2.
    Can anyone help about this
    Thanks

  • Mapping network drives after logging in to VPN

    We are having a problem where remote users login to their laptop with cached domain credentials using SSL VPN (the users are onsite but take their laptops home). Problem is they login to the VPN and their mapped drives don't work and they need to delete and remap their drives everytime they log in (we have to use FQDN to remap, example would be Jsmith1.anycompany.com). Any suggestions

    Hi, you can enable Start Before Logon (SBL) for AnyConnect client.With SBL enabled, the user sees the AnyConnect GUI logon dialog before the Windows logon dialog
    box appears. This establishes the VPN connection first. Available only for Windows platforms, Start Before Logon lets the administrator control the use of login scripts, password caching, mapping network drives to local drives, and more. You can use the SBL feature to activate the VPN as part of the logon sequence. SBL is disabled by default.
    1. Create user profile, then edit attribute, for example,settiing myprofile.xml file to true:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    true
    To disable SBL, set the same value to false.
    You must also specify on the security appliance that you want to allow SBL. Take a look AnyConnect User manual,see the description in the section Enabling Modules for Additional AnyConnect Features(ASDM) or Enabling Modulesfor Additional AnyConnect Features (CLI) for a description of how to do this.
    Pls rate if it helps.

  • GPO preference not applying to map network drive?

    Hello,
    Server 2008 r2 GPO preference not applying to users to map network drive? When I see errors on client pc, here is the error I found?

    I also have tried using full server name in the share, IP address but no success. :(
    I'm using variable %username% in share location: \\servername\share\%username%
    Any idea? Please help. Thanks

    Just a control question, can you actually access the users homefolder manually from the client?
    Drive maps for GP Preferences is used to map drives only. It cannot create folder on the server and that’s why we see the error “0x80070037 The specified network resource or device is no longer available.”.  If you'd like to use share location
    with Variable, please ensure that these folders exist on the file server.
    Hope this helps you!

  • Error reading mapped network drive

    Hi all,
    We have recently upgraded our test server form 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    In one of the programs we are using open dataset to write files to
    application server. This particular folder had been mapped through "Map Network
    Drive function" in windows. The path we have given in the program
    as "<Drive>:\<Folder>\File Name".
    Code :
    <b>DATA : zdsnb(45).
    ZDSNB = 'R:\SAPPayroll\zpaysheet.prn'
    OPEN DATASET zdsnb IN TEXT MODE.</b>
    In 4.6C this particular format was reading without any problem. But
    after the upgrade, system is throwing an error "File cannot be read".
    We have checked the NTFS share rights and rights for the mapped drive.
    It's "Everyone" full access.
    Our OS: Windows 2003 server 64 bit
    Database : MS SQL 2005 64 bit.
    Most of HR related testing is based on this access. Pl suggest a
    solution, so that we can go ahead with our testing and upgrade of other
    servers.
    Regards,
    Adeeb

    Hello Adeeb,
    You need to make sure the user the R/3 system is using to access the file system (usually SAPService<SID>) exists on the target (the mapped drive) system.
    I know the folder is open to the all the users. But the user to access it will still be validated on the NT level to make sure this user exists.
    Regards,
    Joe
