Version: 3.2 beta, build 10 (MDI). Very often happens that Variables pane of Debugger Window does not show me all available variables. I think that in most of the cases variables which are not shown are variables defined locally in the scope. I believe it is quite reproducible. fyi: a few times also happened to me that a variable of my object was displayed in tree twice and each has different value. I'm not able to reproduce it, but I see it from time to time. (is it possible that it is my problem? that I defined the variable twice somehow???)
Local variables are not displayed if a class compiled without debug information (-g option) is debugged. A typical case when it occures includes classes in rt.jar or classes of Netbeans modules (they are not compiled with -g defaultly). There were some problems with refresh of variables and with displaying the "this" value. They should be already fixed.
com.sun.jdi.InconsistentDebugInfoException causes that local variables are not shown in some special cases
fixed in main trunk
Target milestone -> 3.2
