Why Does IDEA Index So Much?
I have a project with a large amount of dependencies.
Each time I change to a different version of this project e.g. in a different dir IDEA indexes again.
Doesn't IDEA keep a hash of the jar along with the index info to tell whether or not indexing is needed?

If you have different project versions in different folders, IDEA should index them only once.
Is there a cache limit size?
Maybe I am going over that and causing a re-index.
I am not seeing the behaviour you mention though.
There is no cache limit for indexing.
Indexing is triggered on files update / adding or removing libraries / changing file types / plugins / indexing problems.
Please attach your idea.log files zipped, I'll try to provide more details for particular reason
OK. I'll download v15 and wait for the issue to occur with that before posting.
