Description Jaroslav Tulach 2004-09-05 11:41:17 UTC

I know that there is always a lot of people asking
how to debug NetBeans. We have the ant tryme
-Ddebug.port=x but many people are not able to
find it. For them I decided to enhance the
NbProject support and all these projects to be
debugged. 

When invoked, new NetBeans are started and a
debuger is connected to the VM. Please review and
either apply or let me know whether it is good
enough to be applied and when (beta2?) and assign
to me.

Looks OK to me.

BTW the <classpath> in <nbjpdastart> is supposed to be optional -
source stepping should work without it, try it.

Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2004-09-08 11:45:58 UTC

Re: classpath does not look optional. Without it I get NPEs.

Well could you please file those NPEs then? So they can get fixed?
Because it is supposed to be optional.
