Re: [wtp-dev] Status of bug fixes for memory leaks in WTP

[Carl Anderson <ccc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Fred,

Yes, it does seem that WTP has been overly slow in responding to these bugs.  However, there are two things that can always help this along:

1) A comment in the bug or an e-mail to the mailing list (which you did, and you can see that it gets responses)
2) Marking the bugs as a hotbug_request, as per https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP/Hotbug_Policy (we review those every week in our meeting)

Unfortunately, it is too late to get these into WTP 3.5.2 for Kepler SR2.  (A quick glance shows that bug 398599 is a great fix, and I will commit it as soon as we declare our integration driver for WTP 3.6 - but since we are declaring our RC3 driver for WTP 3.5.2, this bug does not seem important enough to risk a regression so late in the shutdown.)  Hopefully we will do better at addressing these issues in a more timely fashion in the future.

FWIW,

Hello World,

about a year ago, Snjezana Peco, from Red Hat, opened a series of bugs about memory leaks in WTP. She also provided patches to fix them. To this day, the following bugs are still open :

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398568 target: none
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=398599 target: none
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399099 target: none
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399523 target: Dali JPA 3.2.3

Could the WTP team take a look a those and give us a heads up?

Thanks,

Fred Bricon
