[ajdt-dev] More enhancements: memory usage and performance

["Andy Clement" <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

Following on from a message I sent a little while back about
improvements for binary weaving:

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/aspectj-users/msg09178.html

I have just committed further work under these bugzilla entries:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=231396
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=210470

These:
- streamline the weaver, reducing the size by 20% [does that mean 20%
less bugs? ;) ]
- fix the problem of weavers leaking over time if orphaning
classloaders in a long running system
- reduce the general heap garbage created during a weave

There are more changes to come, but these changes are pretty
substantial and I'd like some help getting everything bedded in for
the 1.6.1 release next month.

So if you get a chance, please download the latest dev build of
AspectJ or AJDT for Eclipse 3.3 and give it a spin, let me know if you
have any problems.

Andy.
