netbeans: Spring boot projects freezing in Netbeans 12.5 & 13

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 13 & 12.5

What happened

When editing Spring Boot project in Netbeans (12.5, 13 tested), Netbeans just freezes/crashes, you have to kill the process.

This started recently, I don’t recall this problem in the past version (< 12.5?)

Problems only seems to be with Spring Boot projects, with Java EE (Payara application server) projects this problem doesn’t occur.

I am using Ubuntu version, but colleagues on Windows are experiencing the same problem.

How to reproduce

Open some Spring Boot project (I tested with version 2.6.4+ ), started editing Java files, it freezes after a few minutes.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Apache NetBeans 12.0 or earlier I don’t remember ever having this problem.

Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04, but same problems on Windows

JDK

JDK 8, JDK 11

Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans binary zip

As this is a hard lock, I added this to the NB15 milestone, with the option to kill the hyperlink provider as a stop gap measure.
