Dialog on Uncaught Exception ? [message #116738] Thu, 13 November 2003 17:30
Eclipse UserFriend
Eclipse has an option in the Preferences under Java > Debug:

"Suspend execution on uncaught exceptions."

I would like to see an additional option there:

"Dialog on uncaught exceptions."

Here's why:

When you're stepping through code a line at a time and an exception
occurs, nothing special happens to alert you that something bad just
happened. Sure -- the status of the thread changes, but that's very easy
to miss. If you keep stepping, you can miss the opportunity to examine
program state.

I would like to have a dialog box pop up when an uncaught exception
occurs, so that it's much harder for me to miss the exception.

Perhaps this functionality is already available, and I'm missing it. But
if not, I would like to see it added in 3.0.

Comments?
