Getting Started
Similar to Mylyn/Contributor Reference this page is meant to help you contribute to the Memory Analyzer project.
Workspace
Setup
Install Eclipse and configure it to develop Java 5 applications.
- We usually use Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede). However, as of today, a 3.3er release works just as well.
Setup your development environment:
- Via the Update Manager Help -> Software Updates... install:
- Eclipse BIRT Chart Runtime Feature
- SVN Team Provider
- Subversive SVN Connectors (See Subversion Team Provider Download Page for the Update Site URL)
- Configure the Code Formatter Template:
- Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Import... and import this template.
Checkout
As the project is still in incubation, you'll find only the trunk code line. Check out the projects by saving mat.psf file locally, and then using File -> Import -> Team Project Set. Use user name "anonymous" and an empty password.
More infos: SVN_Howto, Web Access
Launch Configuration
Launch the Memory Analyzer as stand-alone RCP:
- Create a new Eclipse Application configuration
- Run a product: org.eclipse.mat.ui.rcp.MemoryAnalyzer
- Launch with: plug-ins selected below only
- Deselect org.eclipse.mat.tests
- Deselect Target Platform and click Add Required Plug-ins
- Select org.eclipse.pde.runtime (3.3) or org.eclipse.ui.views.log (3.4) to include the Error Log
or as feature plugged into the IDE:
- Create a new Eclipse Application configuration
- Run a product: org.eclipse.sdk.ide
- Launch with: plug-ins selected below only
- Deselect org.eclipse.mat.tests and org.eclipse.mat.ui.rcp
JUnit Tests
The unit tests a placed in the org.eclipse.mat.tests project. Execute the tests by right-clicking on the project and choose Run As... -> JUnit Plug-in Test.
Ideas for Contributions
This is an initial list of ideas. If you are missing a feature and have some time to contribute, please do not hesitate to contact us.
- Application Knowledge: Name/Request Resolvers for major open source projects: Glassfish, JBoss, Jetty, Tomcat ...
- Open Java Source file via context menu of a class
- Check WeakHashMaps: find those where the value references the key and hence prevents garbage collection
- Documentation and Unit Tests (pretty lame, but much appreciated!)
