Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-122:
--------------------------------------
Hi Todd,
will it be possible to disable this feature in ant builds (for example with a
flag in build.properties or command line environment variable) ?
In some cases could be useful (to not have).
Hint:
Web Start has a feature like this (optional), putting a sort of namespace of
available classes inside any jar, without using the jar indexing.
Thanks,
Sandro
> Optimize WTK class loading

> Key: PIVOT-122
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-122
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk
> Reporter: Todd Volkert
> Assignee: Greg Brown
> Fix For: 1.3

>
> Class initialization for pivot.wtk.<Class> often takes upwards of 300-500ms
> (sometimes more). This is because initializing one class in that package
> often triggers initialization of many other classes, which is to be expected.
> Nonetheless, 500ms seems extreme for class loading.
> This problem can be seen by creating a simple skeleton app that simply loads
> a WTKX hierarchy and adds it to the display. Using WTKX binding, you'll see
> that the first call to bind() will take a long time (the aforementioned
> 500ms), then an immediately subsequent call to bind() will take drastically
> less, even though it's still instantiating the objects anew. The difference
> is that the first call to bind has to run WTK class initialization.
> This may be something we just live with, but it should at least be
> investigated to see if we can't find a smoking gun. The premise is that
> compiled byte code running on an nGHz processor shouldn't take half a second
> to run class initialization. Informal tests show this time to be the last
> vestige of slow load times for Pivot apps.
