EASEly extending Eclipse Trace Compass
Trace Compass is a powerful tool to solve performance and reliability issues by reading and analyzing traces and logs of a system. It has been always an integral part of the Trace Compass project to allow users to extend Trace Compass for custom trace and log formats, custom analysis and views using Java plug-in extensions or by loading user defined XML definitions on-the-fly.
Many users, however, are more comfortable with writing scripts to automate their tasks, and hence it seemed to be a natural fit to use scripting for trace analysis. Eclipse EASE enables users to quickly extend Trace Compass by writing scripts in JavaScript, Python or Ruby.
