2. Project Summary
   2.1. Project Description:
        The NetBeans DTrace GUI Plug-in is a graphical user interface (GUI)
        for SolarisTM Dynamic Tracing (DTrace). It works with both
        Sun Studio IDE and NetBeans IDE. 

        For more information please see:
        http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/NetBeans_DTrace_GUI_Plugin_0_4.html

   2.2. Risks and Assumptions:
        Risk Schedule - assuming review and approval time will be 2 weeks, i.e.
        subission to the LARC on 22-Sep-08, Mon and approval obtained due 3 Oct,
        Fri.

        Risk Schedule - the schedule looks tight and does not accomodate any
        time for correction of possible SVR4-> IPS packages conversion errors.  
        Also it should tried to be done accurately only once and of course there
        is a risk on how long the conversion time would take NB/OS teams. 

3. Business Summary
        The NetBeans DTrace GUI Plug-in enables users to utilize DTrace in
        Solaris environment without learning D language. Users can run 
        D scripts and visualize the output of D scripts with a few mouse clicks
        in Netbeans or Sun Studio IDE.
 
   3.1. Problem Area:
        DTrace is a comprehensive tracing facility built into the
        Solaris Operating System that can be used by developers and
        administrators on live production systems to examine the behavior
        of both user programs and of the operating system itself. 
 
        However, users are required to learn D language before they can
        utilize DTrace. This may become a problematic issue for some users.
      
   3.2. Market/Requester:
        OpenSolaris, Netbeans, and Sun Studio communities.

   3.3. Business Justification:
        Attracting developers, users, and university students to learn about
        Sun's technologies such as OpenSolaris, NetBeans and Sun Studio.

   3.4. Competitive Analysis:
        Apple Instruments (former XRay) is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for
        DTrace on Mac. OpenSolaris requires a similar GUI for DTrace in order
        to stay competitive in the market.

   3.5. Opportunity Window/Exposure:
        Target is to be included into OS 2008.11 repository together with NB 6.5        
        in October timeframe. 

   3.6. How will you know when you are done?:
        The version 0.4 is already released and can be downloaded from
        NetBeans Update Center.

        When the following version is kept in the OS 2008.11 repositorium
