1.16.0

Description

This release includes various performance improvements and bug fixes, including updates to Eclipse Platform components for standalone MAT.

API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

Eclipse Memory Analyzer is stable and is used downstream by Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool with DTFJ and IBM Extensions (IBM) and Eclipse JIFA, and the vlsi/mat-calcite-plugin extends MAT and provides SQL.

Eclipse Memory Analyzer uses Eclipse BIRT for charts. The last time BIRT was available in SimRel 2020-09, so since then MAT has contributed the BIRT plugins from the BIRT update site it needs via the MAT build.

Non-Code Aspects

Documentation has been updated with some of the new features.

There are limited examples / cheatsheets which still apply to 1.15.0

Numbers, times, dates etc. are localized via ICU4J.
