I have some more observations: - the name of a local variable is repeated in the column "value", hence the goal of easily finding the value is not reached by the current solution of the local variables view. - the type is repeated in the column "value" if the value is a pointer to another object. Thus the column type provides additional information only for simple datatypes. And the value column contains a lot (usally > 90%) of useless (duplicate) information (the most interesting information, the value, comes last). If you want to stick with a TreeTableView I would like to make the following suggestions: - write the value in the format "value (type)" and ommit the name - write the type in the column "value" also for simply datatypes
Created attachment 7385 [details] Example of what the local variables looks like for me.
I wonder if you can include a screen shot of this, Christoph? I've never seen the name of a local variable repeated in the value column. I have also never seen the type repeated in the value column. This sounds like a serious problem. I've included a picture of what this looks like for me. Is this different than what you are seeing?

Can you include some information about your configuration? AS you saw from my screen shot, I don't see information like you are seeing. What version of the IDE are you using? What platform? What version of the JDK? I've never seen the names show up in the value column like that. I completely agree that it is terrible! What happens when you try to edit these? Can you change an integer value, for example?
I am using: JDK 1.4.1rc Windows 2000 Netbeans 3.4 (I was using 3.3.2 before) Yes, I can change an Integer. For me it writes "name = 1" and I can either change it to "name = 2" or just "2". Both seems to be processed correctly and is printed in the expected format "name = 2" afterwards. Christoph Gerlach
hmm, may be its problem of deserialization from provious version... can you try to find & delete \settings\system\Services\org-netbeans-modules-debugger-support-java-JavaProjectSettings.settings in your settings folder?
I have deleted \settings\system\Services\org-netbeans- modules-debugger-support-java-JavaProjectSettings.settings and this indeed solves the problem with the values column for me. Thanks. Christoph Gerlach
Does this reduce some of the unpleasantness you were reporting in http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=27129 ? I'm closing this issue.
Yes, it helps, but there still is need for having scroll bars on the columns and getting the positions/presence of the columns saved to the settings. Apart from this the issue is solved for me. Thank you for your quick cooperation. Christoph Gerlach
Verified.
