[orion-dev] orion and debugging story?

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Someone briefly touched on debugging this morning on the call and I've
been having a little exchange with Grant about it as I've been trying
to get the existing debug stuff going (still not having much luck),
but I thought I'd try and get some info through the mailing list if
anyone has time to spell things out...

I'm basically trying to understand the longer term goals of debug with
Orion.  I've had a dig around, couldn't find much in the docs but
found a little in some old bugzillas and a line or two in the plans.
Is there anything else I could look at? (I might just be bad at using
google)

I know it is quite early days for some of this stuff but what is the
experience likely to be when 'finished' (or, say, in the 1.0
timeframe):
- is Orion ever planned to have a debug 'page' that looks like the
eclipse debugger/chrome dev tools? (stack view, variables view, editor
with 'hotswap', etc)

or is the plan something less/different than that?

many thanks for any info,
Andy
