JPDA (Java) Debugger Call Stack View Enhancements Module uploded

I have uploaded the JPDA (Java) Debugger Call Stack View Enhancements Module to my NetBeans 5.0 update center described (here).

Features

This module enhances the Call Stack View of JPDA (Java) Debugger by showing the class of this variable when it differs from the class declaring the method associated with the stack frame. This happens when the method is not overridden in the class of this variable. It is possible to jump to the source of class of this variable using the Go to Type of this pop up action. Popup actions to jump to (distinct) types of local variables associated with the call stack frame are also available in the pop up actions.

Example

The following image shows a Java class javaApplication11.SubMain which extends javaApplication11.Main being debugged. The debugger has stopped at a line in super classes constructor. The type of this variable for the first stack frame is javaApplication11.SubMain however the associated constructor is that of javaApplication11.Main. That is what the label of the stack frame is showing. Also note the action to jump to the class of this variable and to (distinct) types of local variables in the context of that frame. The javaApplication11.Main class constructor happens to have local variables of declared and actual types java.util.List and java.util.ArrayList.
