Description ivan 2004-08-12 02:37:43 UTC

While writing a bpt customizer I was in a position
to have a panel get a Breakpoint and need to get
at the type in order to get a sub-customizer.
But there is no Breakpoint.getBreakpointType()!

This would also mean that the constructor for
Breakpoint needs a BT passed in.

I'm sure this can be worked around but it would be
a nice improvement. Also make BreakpointType
become a factory of Breakpoints?

Sorry to overload this rfe ....
Along the same lines BT.getCustomizer() used to take a 
Breakpoint object in the 3.5 timeframe. Now it doesn't.
I'm finding that the passed in bpt is handy to pre-populate
the customizer when you're editing the breakpoint.
If the passed in event is null then the customizer can allocate
one.

verified (the duplicate is still marked as new, so it should be resolved someday)

To the BT.getCustomizer() - every Breakpoint implementation can have a BeanInfo. That BeanInfo is asked for a java.beans.Customizer and Customizer.setObject(Breakpoint) is called.
This is what org.netbeans.modules.debugger.ui.actions.BreakpointCustomizeAction does.

Comment 5 ivan 2010-01-21 09:43:53 UTC

Are you saying
"every Breakpoint implementation can have a BeanInfo"
or
"every Breakpoint implementation should have a BeanInfo"

Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2010-01-21 10:39:46 UTC

If the breakpoint wants to have enabled the standard "Customize" action in the Editor gutter then it should. Otherwise it just can. It was a convenient way how to add a Customizer without an API change. ;-)
