Comment 1 Andrew Johnson

Two problems - the file association doesn't work for javacore, so we need to use the content type to find the right editor.

Also for Javacore we should never compress the dump as the Javacore reader cannot read a gzipped file, and the PHD reader cannot understand it.

Comment 2 Krum Tsvetkov

2010-07-27 09:57:06 EDT

Are these problems we should look into for our upcoming service release (1.0.1), or shall we leave them for the next one?

Comment 3 Andrew Johnson

2010-07-27 12:05:34 EDT

Acquiring a javacore dump doesn't work automatically at all, so any user trying the JAVA option with IBM dumps will see this.
I'll get the fix from head.

Comment 4 Andrew Johnson

Fixed in trunk and 1.0.x
