Object browser uses infobus.jar thus loads seventeen unnecessary classes into the ide. I request the infobus dependend code to be removed from the our code base, so we can delete the lib/ext/infobus.jar and also save few bytes of memory and faster startup. Because the infobus code is used only for communication between two classes (ClassBrowserHierarchyTranslator and ExplorerBean), if think the change should be trivial (few days work) and does worth the efford. Even this is a bug related to performance, I mark it as enhancement to indicate that the fix should be done only in main trunk. But because I realize the importance of fixing performence bottlenecks I've given it P3 and I hope it will be fixed soon. This will be one of the small steps on our long performance journey.
This is long time bug and does not seem to be getter better, raised priority.
Since it is request for some architecture change we can not do it for 3.2 release.
OK, too late to fix this for 3.2, but we need a commitment that this will be fixed in the next release. The request to get rid of infobus has been posted years ago, and nothing is happening with it.
That does not mean you will change it to later and hope everybody will forget it. This is long time bug create before last release and you should fix it even you do not want to work on it. What about P1 for release Dev. So you want miss it next time?
Target milestone -> 3.3
As the objectbrowser module is deprecated and is going to be replaced by the FreeStyle browser, there is no need to change the code in ObjectBrowser.
