JPDA (Java) Debugger Locals View Enhancements Module uploded
I have uploaded the JPDA (Java) Debugger Locals View Enhancements Module to my NetBeans 5.0 update center described (here).
Features
This module enhances the Locals View of JPDA (Java) Debugger by adding the following columns:
- Modifiers - this columns displays the modifiers of field in Locals View.
- Declared Type - this column displays the declared type of the field in Locals View.
- Declared In - this column displays the class in which the field in Locals View is declared.
How to use
Simply debug any Java application. You should see the above additional column in the Local Variables view.
Example
The following image shows a Java class
javaApplication11.Main being debugged.
The debugger has stopped at a line in it's constructor.
The following image shows the enahanced Local Variables view.
Notice that the actual type of field javaApplication11.Main.o is Properties (Type column).
The declared type of field javaApplication11.Main.o is Object (Declared Type column).
Also notice the Modifiers and Declared In columns.
TODO:
- Action to jump to the Actual type.
- Action to jump to the Declared type.
This module demonstrates how to extend the Netbeans debugger.
