It is surely not for internal testing. Quite contrary we believe it will be quite widely used. For now it is available as a part of SunStudio and you can access it in recently pushed Sun Studio Express (you may call it a beta quality product). > > IMHO this project can serve us in NetBeans too, nor the NB DTrace > plugins(that its good), but not in the same way as D-Light. As for Netbeans - technologically this tool is quite tied to SunStudio internals (performance analyzer machinery). So I would not expect it to be available as a standalone plugin any soon. Though I'm not a DLight developer. regards, Fedor. _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
