554483 - Add nsjetpack binary component as a package to SDK

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 556942

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Atul Varma [:atul]]

The 'nsjetpack' binary component is particularly useful because it has functionality that allows the Mozilla platform to profile its own JS Runtime's memory. This is invaluable in finding memory leaks, and the test harness already contains code that is optionally executed--if nsjetpack is available--to show object count diffs from one run to another. So it should come with the Jetpack SDK by default.

In the future, we might want to separate the memory profiling functionality from the rest of the functionality that nsjetpack provides, some of which is quite experimental.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
