Now watch debug window shows only xpath expressions. It would be good if watch showed also bpel variables in the same manner as BPEL Variables window does.
The debugger plugin should support Watch/Set. Currently the Watches window shows only xpath expressions.
Josh, what did you mean by "Watch/Set"? I mean, I don't understand the "Set" part. I believe the original request was to be able to show bpel variables in the Watches View without using an xpath synthax. E.g. if have a message variable myVar with two parts - part1 and part2, it should be possible to add "myVar" as a watch expression to see both parts rather than creating two watches: "$myVar.part1" and "$myVar.part2". Are you suggesting to extend this issue to include some other functionality?
Alex, the "watch/set" terminology was just taken from a high-level plan, they are the same thing. I think the general idea is to have something that allows you to do what the Java debugger Watches view does. There's no additional extended functionality implied here.
As per Josh's explanation considering the Watches feature is already implemented, renaming this issue from "Watch and Set support" to "Allow to use BPEL Variable names as Watch expressions".
Obsolete milestone, please reevaluate
-> FIXED Variables are now properly handled by the Watches view.
I guess it affects docs.
still can't use variable name in Watch window NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200802140010)
