Mobility is creating 28MB folder in user directory right after startup the IDE with new userdir, without touching any Mobility functionality : 28 ./emulators/wtk22_linux/emulator/wtk22 10 ./emulators/wtk22_linux/emulator/wtk22/docs 11 ./emulators/wtk22_linux/emulator/wtk22/bin 3 ./emulators/wtk22_linux/emulator/wtk22/lib We also found this causes ~15 % startup regression (without WTK/with WTK) for first start with new userdir as well as for existing userdir for big IDE : For example: Win XP , JDK 6.0_01 without WTK with WTK new userdir 20815 24459 existing userdir 12855 14039 BTW: this is serious problem for universities: they are used to have just one NB installation and each student uses userdir located in her directory. So for example for CVUT (28MB x 1000 students = 28 GB of emulators data!)
yes. It is because of wtk stores its data in the installation directory and causes write errors and in fact prevents users from using key functionality. This problems appears mainly in cases described in this issue, i.e. universities with software installed in r/o locations and home directories on servers. We have already reported the issue to the wtk team and hope it will be fixed soon.
It could be solved by the change of the emulator platform to WTK 2.5.1. There should be a different installation model, afaik. Reassigning to Adam, adding dependency.
Actually, the problem is even worse. On my machine it takes: 5.5 + WTK 2.2 - 28MB 5.5.1 + WTK 2.5.1 - 82MB since we are going to replace 2.2 by 2.5.1 in 6.0 soon it should be marked as P1.
I increased the priority (P1) of bug reported to WTK team (http://bt2ws.central.sun.com/CrPrint?id=6473474)
we are working on the new way of installation
fixed. wtk 2.5.2 which is now bundled stores user data in user dir => no need to copy it over anymore
verified with Beta1 build 09/11
