Netbeans - Turn off - wavy red underlines - How?

Question

How can I turn off the wavy red underlines in Netbeans? I don't want to be interrupted while I'm typing, and told that a half finished line of code is wrong.

This has actually already been addressed and illustrated in Arnold's answer to NetBeans. Disable error checking underline (+1); select Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Syntax -> Category Error and adjust the font effects (or any other style) to your liking:

I've confirmed it to still work like so - please note that new settings won't have any effect until you trigger an editor update, e.g. by typing a letter.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help with performance in any immediately observable way (though removing font effects like this indeed used to speed up things in the olden days).

This doesn't disable it quite like the question is asking, I think. The question asks to delay the error checking until the line is completed, but your answer removes it completely. – gobernador Feb 27 '12 at 01:49
Yes, @gobernador is absolutely right, this doesn't disable spell checking, it just "hides" the error underlinings; the OP seemed to be disturbed by spell checking. (I don't really understand why this answer got a +50 bounty, because this is not a solution at all. Sorry.) – Sk8erPeter Dec 25 '13 at 18:09

Follow this path if you want to turn them off, (I'm using NeatBeans 5.5.1)

Tools -> Options -> Advanced Options -> Open the "Editing" node and click on "Java sources" -> Enter 0 for the "Error Annotation Limit"

That will completely turn off the red underlines. You can also change the "automatic parsing delay" at the same location if you want a longer pause instead.
