[hyades-dev] Stability of the current WSWB M8 driver (200403261517)?

[Joseph P Toomey <jptoomey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I picked up the latest WSWB M8 driver
(200403261517) yesterday, and having used it only sparingly, I have some
concerns about stability.  The driver hung once when I was trying
to do a CVS Synchronize with Repository, and crashed once when trying to
launch a runtime workbench.  I'll paste the log from the crash at
the bottom of this note in case anyone is curious, but the problem is not
reproducible.  Beyond these problems, I have also seen the Build Project
and Build All menu items disabled in the Java perspective (with a java
project selected in the package explorer), and I don't know if that is
a reproducible defect or not.

Given that this driver could become
the WSWB M8 driver, I'd like to solicit feedback from other people using
this driver.  Within the next 48 hours, can you please post if you
have encountered the problems I describe above, or if you have encountered
other stability issues with this driver (that were not present in the earlier
WSWB drivers)?  Please cc: Rob Sinclair (rsinc@xxxxxxxxxx), who will
collect the results and let us know if this seems to be a widespread issue,
hopefully in time for us to do something about it.

Thanks,
--Joe
