Does anyone know when the numerous bugs in the debugger will be fixed?
If you have done any step - by step debugging in java you will be very
familiar with the various bugs in Eclipse... some just irritating, some
are really time wasting.

If you are seeing reproducible bugs in the debugger, please file bug
reports for them. There is no way for us to comment on when numerous
bugs will be fixed without knowing specifically what problems you are
having.
I can assure you that those of us working on the debugger use it on a
daily basis and do our best to maintain its usability.

They are fairly obvious bugs. I'm sure they are already logged. The only
way that you could not know about them is if you don't use Eclipes for
debugging java programs

FYI - I use the Java debugger daily and have no clue what you're talking
about. Could you explain at least one of the problems or point to
existing bug reports? Searching the bug reports really isn't that
hard... (https://https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/) it's much more
productive than just complaining about unspecified problems.

Okay, one bug which I see quite a lot is when you are step-by step
debugging the variables in the variable window are being updated one step
too late. I was sure this was happening all the time, but now when I try
it I don't see it. I don't know how to get it to start happening again.
Another bug is when you put a breakpoint in a particular point in the
startup code of your midlet the emulator will hang. Normally the
breakpoint has to be put on the contruction of an object before you will
see this happen.
I'm not familiar with the eclipse bug database so I'm not sure which
fields I have to search to see if these bugs are already logged.

Ed,

Are you using the standard JDT debugger to connect to a Java process, or
another debugger included in a plug-in to provide support for debugging
your midlet emulator? Your problems may be specific to your runtime
environment.

I am using Eclipse 3.1.2 and EclipseME 1.2.3. I don't know what debugger,
I think it's just whatever one comes with eclipse

I'd guess the problem would lie either with your emulator, or EclipseME,
or somewhere between the two. Perhaps you should look for help from
EclipseME, or open a bug report with them:

Fair enough it could be with the emulator, or EclipseME, but equally it
could be with Eclipse itself, right?

Eclipse provides the debugger framework - the interfaces, the UI to have
a variables view, set breakpoints, step actions, etc. It also includes
a debugger implementation for J2SE Java runtimes. Other plug-ins (CDT,
EclipseME, etc) provide other debugger implementations that are
responsible for doing the actual debugging work against other runtime
types (C/C++ apps, Midlets, etc).

If Eclipse itself is the problem, you can test this out by writing a
normal J2SE Java app, debug it, and see if you see similar problems with
the Eclipse supported debugger backend. If not, it's a problem with the
other backend implementation.

Hope this helps,

You mean the debugger is actually part of EclipseME? I didn't know that.
Thanks for your answers anyways, I would like to say that this is one
forum is one of the most helpful I have seen so far!
cheers,
Ed
