#1188: GetComponents should output the total number of components to be downloaded
Reporter: Ian Hinder Status: wontfix Milestone: Version: Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component: GetComponents

If GetComponents outputs the total number of components it is about to download, then Mohave will be able to give a better progress report. This would also be helpful for users as they can see how far through the process they are.
**Keyword:** Comment (by Roland Haas):
Eclipse (and its Cactus integration) seems no longer in use for the ET. Progress updates with parallel checkouts are tricky, GetComponent does not always know which components it will update vs. download freshly.
This seems lots of work for little gain just to get at Windows like progress bar that gets stuck on the last % value.
