The JavaPosse announced this week in Podcast episode #127 that the Java developer tool of the week is the SAP Memory Analyzer.
Now, why am I blogging about this? Of course, we, the Java developers who wrote it, are excited that people receive the tool so well. However, there is something more. The tool is an Eclipse RCP application and Tor is the Sun NetBeans Guy and as you all might know, NetBeans and Eclipse are two different platforms competing with each other. Torture for Tor? On purpose by Dick? 😉
If this comforts Tor, SAP has made the general decision for Eclipse a long, long time ago. Therefore we based our tool on Eclipse. The analysis core of the tool, however, is completely free of UI stuff or other nasty dependencies. Gregg Sporar, Mandy Chung, Tomas Hurka, Radim Kubacki and all the other guys from the NetBeans team we met at JavaOne this year liked the tool very much. So, who knows what could happen to this in the future. 😉
