[news.eclipse.tools.hyades] Re: Can I profile a PocketPC app?

["Andy Kaylor" <andrew.kaylor@xxxxxxxxx>]

One of the problems with porting to small scale devices, in general, is that
the platforms tend to be numerous and diverse.  We've looked into the best
way to support such platforms and reached the tentative conclusion that the
best approach is not to try to move the entire platform everywhere that we
want to collect data.

Instead, and I believe there will be a white paper coming out on this
shortly, it seems best to write a proxy agent that connects to the RAC on a
single platform and then use some platform-specific means for communicating
with the collector on that platform.

This isn't to say that you couldn't port the entire RAC to a platform like
PocketPC if you thought it was worthwhile.  But it may not be the best way
to get the results you're looking for.

I'd be very interested to hear your impression of this approach.
