Removing Java 1.5 support from the profiler seems fine. (And as others have pointed out, the profiler is _really_ useful! I use it frequently.)

The build does not really rebuild the source code with each release, just downloads some dusty zips and populate it's content. If we would like to move forward from this state, I think it's time to leave some rusty parts behind. You might now that there was a specification difference on java instrumentation between Java 1.5 and 1.6, that's why we have two sets of profiler packages. Java 1.5 has reached EOL 11 years ago in October 2009. I think anyone who would like to profile a Java 1.5 application today, the support of NetBeans 8.5 or even NetBeans 12.0 LTS (though I doubt that it was tested in such a scenario) would be good. Brad Walker, NetBeans personal rust remover, has offered a help to get rid of the 1.5 profiler support. Does anyone has any objections? -- Laszlo Kishalmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
