Description DJ Houghton CLA 2002-10-10 15:48:53 EDT
build 2002-10-01, win2k, j9

Eduardo and Jeff have some suggestions for classloading enhancements that we 
should look at. This includes having a file with package name prefixes in it to 
give the class loader a hint as to whether or not the class that it is looking 
for will be in this plug-in.

We should look at integrating this code into DelegatingURLClassLoader and its 
friends.
Comment 1 DJ Houghton CLA 2002-10-10 15:49:57 EDT
Initial investigations show 7-10% improvements in classloading.
Include in r2.0.2 and merge into HEAD for r2.1.
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA 2002-10-21 21:26:36 EDT
We need to also include doc for this in the build-notes and inform WSAD of the 
changes so they can take advantage of them.
Comment 3 DJ Houghton CLA 2002-10-22 16:40:54 EDT
Fixed and released into R2_0_1 stream.
Still need to integrate into HEAD.
Doc is work in progress but will be included either in build or as a separate 
attachment.
Comment 4 DJ Houghton CLA 2002-10-23 15:33:14 EDT
Fixed and released into HEAD.
Doc will be posted to Platform/Core team page on dev.eclipse.org.
