Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Competition for improving the IDE

Improving the performance is always good
:-)

I didn't look at the test but I think
it only covers a very simple case. We would have to create test cases for
different scenarios, e.g.
- lots of open editors and views
- target platform that needs to be resolved
via network
- projects not on local disk
etc.

Of course we can also just pick one
or two most interesting scenarios for the competition (as a start). The
first round of prizes would go to the people who create official performance
tests for the selected scenarios, so that we can use the official performance
results.

Hi,

In the last release we had the Great bug initiative.

I think one great area for improvement would be the reduction of the startup time in the IDE.

Maybe the Eclipse foundation could make a competition for improving it? Accepted contributions could be ranked by improvement and the largest improvements would win the price.

For the measurement we have in platform a startup time test, which I think could be used for the measurement. Dani, what do you think?

If we would do this, we should get the buy-in from the involved projects. For platform Dani would have to say yes, for p2 Pascal, etc.
