Eclipse Spykit Project

Eclipse Spykit An Introduction Annamalai Chockalingam, CEO, ANCiT Consulting

Need for Startup Analysis
Number of Eclipse Projects growing in leaps and bounds.
Risk of Memory Bloat and Performance Degradation is High.
Causing a lot of impact on Eclipse Startup Time.
Performance Tuning of Projects based on Memory and CPU Time Analysis
For Plugin its their Load Time and their Load Impact that we should analyse.
Startup Load thru IStartup Extension Point slows the load time of Eclipse.
1 Plugin can cause a load of Other Plugins Indirectly
Therefore Startup Tuning is the need of the hour in the Eclipse Projects. This Project is inspired by Runtime Spy , one of Core Tools available from Eclipse.org.

About Eclipse Spykit Project
Developed by Annamalai C & Sandeesha M
Project Hosted on www.eclipselabs.org
Source Code Available for Download via SVN

Setting Up Eclipse Spykit
Download the Plugins from https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/eclipse-spykit/
Also Download .options file
To enable tracing in Eclipse to get the Information about Startup.
Follow the Instructions on the Installation Wiki
https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/eclipse-spykit/wiki/Installation

Screen 1 – Active Plugins View Displays all the Active Plugins @ any given point of Time. Selecting the Plugin will Display the Classes loaded in the Loaded Classes View. This view will help in Tracking the Plugins Loaded and How they got loaded ? This view is directly picked and upgraded for Eclipse Runtime Spy

Screen 2 – Startup Analysis
We realised that there is a lot of information. Pictures always talk more than Words …
These views help in Impact Analysis due to loading of plugins
This view has 2 Charts
Displaying the Type of Load … It is Startup plugins / Extension Point Loaded
Displays the Count of Plugins loaded due to 1 Startup Plugin

Screen 3- Snapshot View We realised problems need not be to related to only during startup of eclipse. Plugins can we loaded @ any point during runtime due to lazy activation. This Plugin Load Snapshot View is designed to collect and plot graph. This would allow you to analyse Plugin load based on Events.

Coming Soon Features
Integration with UI Testing Tools
Snapshot Save and Load Feature
Snapshot Comparsion Feature
Views related to CPU Time for Plugin Load.
