The Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) project is
starting
an initiative to improve the usability
of the TPTP profiler and make TPTP a
better product for the community. Within
TPTP we modestly call this
initiative POG (Profiler Of the Gods).
We have addressed a number of usability issues in the most recent Ganymede
delivery and are now soliciting Eclipse plug-in developers to try the profiler
and provide feedback to improve the
overall profiling experience.
If you are a plug-in developer and are interested to participate, please
reply
to me so I can keep you abreast of the developments as this effort progresses.
Those who participate can expect enhanced
direct support from the TPTP team in
return for their efforts to help us
shake out the profiler.
We will also be doing support using the newsgroup eclipse.tptp. Please
put
'POG' in the subject line when posting
on the newsgroup so that we may
properly triage our community support
efforts.
This iteration of the profiling initiative pilot is targeted to close on
Dec
2nd ,2008 so we can incorporate your experiences and suggestions into the
next
iteration for the spring Ganymede point release. Our aim is to continue
this effort on
an ongoing basis, with each release
being better for the community than the previous.
