[equinox-dev] Long hang-times in org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator

[Brian de Alwis <briandealwis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that my debug instances sometimes take a loooong time to start, but I'm now seeing it when launching my IDE after updating to Build id: I20170510-2000.

Running with `org.eclipse.osgi/debug/bundleTime=true`, I see:

Finding activator for org.eclipse.osgi_3.12.0.v20170510-2118 [0]

Starting org.eclipse.osgi_3.12.0.v20170510-2118 [0]

End starting org.eclipse.osgi_3.12.0.v20170510-2118 [0] 47

Time to load bundles: 40

Finding activator for org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.2.0.v20170110-1705 [3]

Starting org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.2.0.v20170110-1705 [3]

End starting org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.2.0.v20170110-1705 [3] 49536

and then startup proceeds quickly.  When it happened with debug launches, I found that selectively managing my lists of enabled bundles would bring the time down.

Before I start digging, is there a way to enable debug tracing of some kind in the simpleconfigurator?
