[Java-player-users] JavaClient patches: Performance, Gripper

[Sebastian R. <seb...@go...>]

Hello Jorge,

I made some changes:

Does a huge performance improvement when you have a Player server containing a lot of devices.
E.g. Having a Stage simulation with 100 robots (each has at least one position and maybe a ranger device).
 
Formerly the PlayerClient just loops through all device for logging output only. Which takes on my config around 20 seconds (!) for connecting 1 PlayerClient (and minutes for 100 clients).
With the patch the standard behaviour is not changed, i.e. when logging level == INFO.
But when you set it to any higher value, e.g. SEVERE, it will benefit from the performance advantage. It will than take only about a second for one client.

Adds the gripper commands to more convenient methods, e.g. open, close ...

Kind regards,
Sebastian
