This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: - create any project e.g. Welcome - set SunStudio tool collection - do step into project - create a new watch (e.g. argc) - create one more watch for the same expression (argc) Result: A new watch does not appear in Watches table until a user re-opens Watches window. After that user can see something like "Duplicate of 2" instead of the second expression value.
same behavior in SunStudio
postponed until we have dbx support in NB
move dbx related issues into dbx-gui component
mark issues as not fixed
This is true in solstudio as well. Dbx emits an error on duplicate watches and displays. That makes sense. The interaction debuggercore watch mechanism and the need to reasonably handle errors when dbx is started make presentation of this duplication error tricky to design. A separate issue is that the watches view is missing an update on this "duplicate error". It appears only when the view is closed/opened, or another watch is added or the user steps etc.
