Grim, you might consider making this poll sticky as we’d all like to know how you guys feel about this.

[grimholtz]

If the people who voted no could elaborate why they wouldn’t want this, I’d really appreciate it. I’m curious how they can profile (if they do at all) without this kind of integration.

Thanks,
grimholtz

Maybe it was one of the devs, and they just don’t want to implement it 😀

I like the Eclipse Profiler Plugin (http://eclipsecolorer.sourceforge.net/index_profiler.html) and think the myEclipse devs have more interesting things to do (UML, Spring, …).

Nice to have in myEclipse but not a high priority for me.

I don’t profile in great detail as it is not an important part of our system here. Plus i’d like to see other development tackled first i.e. UML etc…

Profiling is a very important part of what we do, and I for one would love to have something built in and ready to go. We use optimizit suite at the moment, but since they got bough out by borland, we haven’t really had the desire to renew .

I’d like to echo Mike Miller’s reply. Profiling is not a big part of my life right now. Plus, MyEclipse is such a fine product and I don’t want it start trying to be all things to all people (Feature Bloat).

I voted no. I can’t understand why anyone would want the MyEclipse team develop this. Of course profiling is great, but that needs to be at the Eclipse level, maybe not even that.
The role of the ME team, is to develop rock-solid new J2EE related features. I do not want them to waste time with anything else.

I would absolutely love profiler integration. As mentioned above the profiler at:
http://eclipsecolorer.sourceforge.net/index_profiler.html
as great but could do with some integration with myeclipse.

For example I use weblogic as part of myeclipses app server integration. The profile is not easily enabled for this, it all has do be done externally.

So, please please please, make profiling as easy as you have made everything else myeclipse! 🙂

[hughmadden]

ps: the only great differentiator that I see between myeclipse and wsad/ rational software architecture is:
-profiling
-UML

nock these two off and myeclipse could acelerate into the financial services space quick’n .. something very quick

The folks that replied no to this poll may have misunderstood the request. We don’t want the dev guys developing a profiler, but want them to integrate a profiler like hyades with MyEclipse.

[Riyad Kalla]

We don’t want the dev guys developing a profiler, but want them to integrate a profiler like hyades with MyEclipse.

No worries, this is what we had in mind anyway.

I’m all for profiler integration, and I don’t care who provides it. I trust the MyEclipse team to choose wisely as to whether this is a task for them. All I can tell them is that I’d like it integrated into Eclipse. I currently use JProfiler, and don’t mind using it outside the IDE, but it would be nice to be integrated. I haven’t run into an application that didn’t benefit from profiling.

[Thomas SMETS]

Remember that the JDK 1.5 will have embedded profiling !
