Hi I m trying to run the sleak on my GUI. I am getting the warning which says “Device is not tracking resource allocation”. I followed all the steps to implement sleak. i have to command line args needed for my GUI which I used to pass before and then I came to know that I need to give .options file path also in the arguments. I am doing that but still no use. I changed the run configuration/ tracing options also to enable debug and degug\graphics still I am getting the same warning … could you please let me know whatz wrong ? this is really critical for my project.

just to be up-to-date :
the id of the Sleak view seems to have changed, now it is:
org.eclipse.swt.tools.views.SleakView

Hi,

I’m trying to use Sleak on my RCP gmf-based application without success : I’m still having the popup menu with the message “Warning: Deviceis not tracking resource allocation”

The only difference that I can see with your post is that simply set the o.e.swt.tools plugin and its required plugins in my launch configuration and open the view via Alt+shift+Q,Q

Nota : I can use Sleak on my Eclipse use for the development.

Do you know a common issue that can be possible?

Thanks by advance

For those that are unaware, note also that many registry classes already exist in JFace (under org.eclipse.jface.resource), that will manage disposing of resources created through them automatically.

Adil, sure you can use Sleak on Eclipse 3.3

If you follow the directions on the SWT website, all you need to do is this:
# Sleak plug-in for Eclipse 2.1.0 to 3.3 (zip file)
* Extract the zip file into the eclipse/plugins/ folder.

Good luck!

Hey,

Can this be done on a rcp based on eclipse 3.3? We would definitely like to profile out mamoth RCP application for SWT leak. Bseides, how do i wrap the Sleak class in a view. Sorry, i am very new to RCP hence my dumb question.

Thanks.
