every gradle refresh now is triggering a bloody slow "resolving external annotations" process.. is it really necessary? May I turn it off?

Maven too, but on my machine it times out and throws an Exception…

this definitely comes from the last eap, are you using eap too? dont't you?

Yep.

Was messing around last night and saw a lot of this. It seemed like you could cancel it without any negative effects but still a little annoying.

yeah, doing the same exactly thing atm

thanks Alexey!
