Debug Project New and Noteworthy for 3.3M1


Browse all references

You can browse all references to an object in the variables view. This feature requires you to debug your application using a J2SE6.0 virtual machine. Select any object in the variables view, and choose "All References..." from the context menu. A popup displays all objects referring to the selected object. You can expand each node in the tree to follow references to each object. You can inspect any object in the reference tree by selecting it and pressing CTRL-Shift-I. This opens an inspect popup displaying the object's fields.


No more prompting

A user preference now controls whether you are prompted to confirm the deletion of all breakpoints in the workspace. The new preference is available on the Run/Debug preference page. As well, a check box in the confirmation dialog allows you to set the preference.


Auto format stack traces

Stack traces can be formatted automatically as you paste them into the Java stack trace console. An "Auto Format" toggle is available on the console toolbar.


Double-click and Ctrl-Shift-B for all kinds of breakpoints

Double-clicking in the vertical ruler, or invoking Toggle Breakpoint (Ctrl-Shift-B) now creates an appropriate kind of breakpoint based on the cursor location - line breakpoint, watchpoint, method breakpoint, or class load breakpoint. To create a class load breakpoint, double click on the class declaration line.
