[ptp-dev] Please test the Juno SR2 Parallel Package - reply to this emai

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Please download the RC4 build of the parallel package from the link in the attached email
and test on your favorite platform, plus hopefully create and run a parallel app on your favorite target system configuration (resource manager).
And test a few other of your favorite things.
Please reply to this email saying what client platform, remote resource manager, and other items you tested.
Thank you!

Unless there is major breakage, which is our final SR1 build, but testing helps us know if we need to fix things esp. before our SC tutorial in November - a very important milestone for us in ensuring
trouble-free experience by tutorial attendees and others who will learn about PTP at the SC conference.

Happy testing, and please let me know you're not ignoring me!

Hi package maintainers,

it is time to test our latest (and at the same time last) build for Juno SR1. This build won't be released early as RC4, instead it will be released as Juno SR1 next Friday after 'quiet week'. Please send your votes as soon as possible - I'd like to get your feedback until Monday.

The packages can be found here:

 http://build.eclipse.org/technology/epp/epp_build/juno/download/20120920-0804/

With the following p2 repositories you can simulate updates from Juno to Juno SR1

Sometimes I am doing last-minute changes... During my review of the packages I found out that some packages are still using an upper limit of 256MB for the heap size. We defined this limit years ago and most packages are using a much higher limit now, but not all packages. I thought that a higher value does no harm (computers tend to have more memory today) and could improve the user experience a bit. And that was my change: I set the maximum Java heap size of Java, CPP, and Mobile packages to 512MB and tracked it in the following bug. I hope you agree to this change.

 Packages should define at least 512m as maximum Java heap size

Thanks,
