Description
When the Java autobuild setting is enabled, even after the build finishes, the CPU remains high (2 to 3 cores at 100% on a 8 HT core system) for the java process, even after a few minutes, and without making any code changes (or even touching the VSCode during that period). Disabling auto-build ("java.autobuild.enabled":false) and restarting VSCode, then manually building, the CPU usage returns to close to idle after the build completes (which is what is expected).
Environment
- Operating System: macOD High Sierra 10.13.5 (MacBook Pro retina mid-2012)
- JDK version: 8.0_131
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.25.0
- Java extension version: 0.3.0
Steps To Reproduce
- On a Mac start up VSCode and make sure java.autobuild.enabled:true (default)
- Load up a Maven project
- Let it build automatically; when the build finishes, monitor the CPU usage for the "java" named process.
Current Result
CPU usage remains high and doesn't seem to come down even after a few minutes
Expected Result
CPU usage to come close to idle after build completes
Additional Informations
The only java program running at that time is the plugin:
$ jps -v

Research direction
Start by reviewing server.log and Process Sample of java.txt, then reproduce the report with java.autobuild.enabled enabled on a Maven project in VS Code. Compare the Java process after automatic and manual builds; done means CPU returns close to idle after the automatic build completes without code changes.
