| <h1>Hotspot SA User Interface Notes</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Workspace and Building</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| All the source code for the Serviceability Agent is in |
| <code>src/share/vm/agent</code> in the HotSport workspace |
| <code>/net/jano.sfbay/export/disk05/hotspot/ws/1.4/sa_baseline</code> |
| <p> |
| You can build the project by typing <code>gnumake</code> in the |
| <code>src/share/vm/agent</code> directory. |
| <p> |
| You can also use the default build target using the Ant build file (build.xml). You can download Ant from |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant">http://jakarta.apache.org/ant</a>. Documentation for Ant can be |
| found at <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/index.html">http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/index.html</a> |
| |
| |
| <h2>Running the project</h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>java -cp classes sun.jvm.hotspot.HSDB</code> |
| <li><code>java -cp classes sun.jvm.hotspot.bugspot.Main</code> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Feedback</h2> |
| <p> |
| Refactoring of package hierarchy. All user interface components should be in |
| the ui package. Perhaps: sun.jvm.hotspot.ui.hsdb.Main for the HSDB and |
| sun.jvm.hotspot.ui.bugspot.Main for BugSpot. |
| <p> |
| The src\share\vm\agent area seems like a workspace so it should be organized like |
| one. In particular, I'd like to suggest the following directory layout:<br> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>src: All sources that are curently under the sun directory. |
| <li>classes: compiled class files. |
| <li>lib: Resources like images, icons and jar files. |
| <li>docs: Documentation |
| <li>deploy: distribution bundles for Java Web Start. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| Seems like there is a lot of redundant functionality. Between the HSDB and BugSpot. Perhaps |
| this can be consolidated with a <code>javax.swing.Actions</code> architecture. |
| |
| <h2>Tasklist</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Stack memory pane</b>: |
| It's one of the more useful JVM debugging tools in the SA. However, it |
| doesn't support any interaction with the text; the Memory Panel in BugSpot |
| was written afterward (with help from Shannon) and implements proper |
| selection, scrolling, and drag-and-drop, but no annotations. I'm not sure how |
| to integrate the annotations with the JTable that's being used for the memory |
| view; if you have suggestions here please let me know. |
| <p> |
| <b>Integrations with the NetBeans architecture (plug in).</b> See the |
| <a href="http://openide.netbeans.org">Netbeans Open APIs homepage</a> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| HSDB: Object Histogram. Column sizes should be sized according the the |
| contents. i.e, The size and count columns should be narrow enought to |
| handle the largest window. Since there is a lot of data, sorting |
| and searching should be implemented. |
| <p> |

| <p> |
| sun.jvm.hotspot.oops.ObjectHistogram should be the underlying data |
| structure for the TableModels. It shouldnt bother with sorting the data - |
| the table model should do that. It should implement these methods: |
| |
| <pre> |
| public int getSize() |
| public ObjectHistogramElement getElementAt(int row); |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| ObjectHistogramElement should return the String that represents |
| the third column |
