Description _ lcincura 2005-01-06 14:11:51 UTC
In files view expand some ant xml file. The
targets of the file are dispalyed, but the context
menu for the targets does not have the menu item
Debug Target even though Run Target is there.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-01-10 22:06:46 UTC
...and do you have the ant/debugger module installed?
Comment 2 Jan Jancura 2005-01-11 08:47:15 UTC
Lubo means editor pop-up menu. I have not added Debug action there,
because Run is not there too. Do you plan to change it, Jesse?
Comment 3 _ lcincura 2005-01-11 09:00:51 UTC
I mean the context menu of files view. Context menu for ant target
displays Run Target, but not Debug Target.
Comment 4 herkules 2005-08-05 22:14:51 UTC
same for me at home and at work ... no 'Debug Target' action anywhere. 
I always wondered how to start the debugger at all. No success so far.

Can I really make something wrong there?

Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2005-08-05 22:58:33 UTC
There is currently no SPI for the ant/debugger module to extend the target
nodes. However the Debug submenu is available from the main file node. (It could
be added to the editor as well, as of NB 4.2.)

OMG! Yes, I'm so stupid, I'm sorry! I looked for the menu many times w/o
success. But it's definately there. Never got the idea to ask the build.xml for
the context menu ... cannot understand why *blush*
