Summary:	Allow looking at values of method parameters even when the symbolic info is not present

Description _ sandipchitale 2006-06-26 21:25:50 UTC

When the symbolic debug information is not present in the class files the 
Netbeans debugger does not display (or allow a watch on) the values of local 
variables as the names may not be available. However it is my understanding 
that JDI (of JPDA) does allow looking at the values.

This could be handled by the debugger UI by generating names like parameter1, 
parameter2 and localVariable1, localVariable2. Even better to come up with 
names that indicate the type of the variable such as intParameter1, 
stringParameter2 and so on.

This is planned into NB 6.0.
