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

[Joseph P Toomey <jptoomey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I actually have the Java activity enabled,
and the Build Project and Build All items are still disabled.  Curtis's
note from a moment ago explains why, so this does not appear to be a stability
issue.  I certainly agree that it's a usability issue, because if
you choose to "clean" a project (because you'd like to rebuild
it, but that menu item is now disabled), it does not enable the Rebuilt
Project item.  In the case of Hyades, where the builders don't properly
build everything on the first try, this is a real hassle.  But you're
right -- I can provide that feedback to the Eclipse newsgroup, now that
I know it's a deliberate change.

I'm still looking for feedback from
anyone else with stability issues with this driver (or with wswb-30M8-200403291703).

Thanks,

Joe, WSWB M8 0326 driver has the activities feature implemented - and enabled

Build Project and Build All menu items are disabled because the Java activity
is disabled by default. 
To make them available, go to Window>Configure Activities... and select
Java activity. This seams to be an usability issue in the end, but this
is the way Eclipse 3.0 will behave.. so if you want this to be changed,
input your feedback on the Eclipse newsgroup or open a defect against Eclipse

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

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,
