Rebuild doesn't stop?
We have a large setup ... and unfortunately, since a few months, IntelliJ is constantly giving us issues: builds just hang?!
I just switched my local checkout to a different branch, then started IntelliJ.
I went for a "rebuild" to ensure, that well, everything gets rebuild.
Thing is: after two minutes or so, I am told that the project build (with like 100K warnings, in 2.30 minutes).
But: although the IDE tells me that build is done, it isn't responsive. It also tells me that 1 process is still the running (when I look at details, it is the rebuild process). And the Mac doc also shows that the blue progress bar is still progressing.
I then went for "exit" ... and it took almost 5 minutes before IntelliJ would really stop "building" (or whatever it is doing) and exit.
We are using the "eclipse compiler" ( I have heard that using "javac" gives less issues, but well, that is not an option in our setup).
I am running 2018.1.2 on Mac Os.

If you have antivirus/firewall, try with it disabled or make sure that IDE installation home, IDE settings directories and project files are added to exclusion list.
If problem remains, when issue happens, please take several jstack thread dumps of a build process that IDE launches and attach them and all IDE logs zipped (Help | Compress Logs and Show in ... action).
