Description jrojcek 2007-04-19 13:13:47 UTC 
The memory toolbar should *not* be visible by default in normal and debugging toolbar configuration for 
6.0 M9.

At first I though we would turn off the memory toolbar for JavaOne automatically (as I assumed it was an 
official release), but now I'm not sure therefor this bug.

Please reassign to appropriate engineer.

Rising priority to P1 so that we don't forget about it.
Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-04-23 09:39:34 UTC 
No problem to turn the memory toolbar off for M9 as soon as the milestone branch
is created on Thursday.

But do we really want to do that? We usually turn memory toolbar off for FCS.
With preview we want to get as much feedback from users as possible. And
feedback about memory consumption and any related problems is very valuable for
us at this point.
Comment 3 jrojcek 2007-04-24 10:03:50 UTC 
I would say so that it should be removed for M9.

Regarding feedback. How users use the memory toolbar to provide feedback about performance? Is it 
like "suddenly I saw the memory is at 200MB and it didn't go down". Or is it something else? How many 
reports do we get from users who directly observer something's wrong when they see the memory 
toolbar? I'm trying to understand how really helpful is the memory toolbar for gathering performance 
feedback.

After M9...

My opinion is that the memory meter should be visible in the status line becase it's more about the 
status information than about an action shortcut.

Keep in mind it is clickable - it invokes garbage collector.
Comment 5 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-04-26 14:54:17 UTC 
Turned off on release60-m9 branch.
