Description ulfzibis 2008-12-09 20:06:04 UTC 
What do you think about :

Debug -> Run to Cursor    (forces start of debugger, if class has main() or is JUnit test)
      -> New Watch
      -> Break point -> line
      -> Break point -> type -> class
                             -> exception
                             -> method
                             -> thread
                             -> field
      -> Edit Value
      -> Copy Value   (first approach to sophisticated DnD)
      -> Paste Value   (  "     "         "            "   )
      -> Display Tooltip As -> object id   (#123)
                            -> decimal   (if array, display as: 1, 22, 3, 74456, ...)
                            -> hex   (if on String, display as: 3F 71 FF ...)
                            -> octal
                            -> binary
                            -> char
                            -> array content   (Example: 3F 71 FF ...)
                            -> string   (useful on array of byte, char, int) (if on object, display toString())
      -> Display All Tooltips As -> decimal   (bounded on respective variable type)
                                 -> ...
Comment 1 ulfzibis 2008-12-09 20:14:45 UTC 
      -> Display All Tooltips As -> ...
                                 -> remember current settings for next debugger session
                                 -> default
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2008-12-10 16:34:24 UTC 
*** Issue 155107 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Comment 3 ulfzibis 2008-12-10 16:57:57 UTC 
IMHO shouldn't Issue 155107 better linked by 'depends on' than marking it as duplicate?
Comment 4 ulfzibis 2008-12-10 17:08:54 UTC 
Erroneously values had been changed by cross-posting :-(
Comment 5 cyb3r 2009-05-21 06:40:37 UTC 
Debug -> Show history


Id would be great If I could see how in time variables/class atributes are changing. For examples in threaded loops.
