Description David-john Burrowes 2002-04-22 20:57:20 UTC 
In the breakpoints window, various text messages can be printed out when the program 
stops/pauses/suspends.  These have terms which are substituted, at run time, with current 
values (e.g. {classname}).  The set of all possible values should be documented so folks can 
create their own.

Gail, could you look at this?

David John, is this functionality is also in 3.3? It's probably too late to doc for 3.3.2.
Comment 2 David-john Burrowes 2002-04-23 18:08:08 UTC 
It is in 3.3, but it is fine if it doesn't get documented until 3.4, I think.  No users have been 
screaming for this.
Comment 3 Gail Chappell 2002-07-12 23:11:09 UTC 
I've added a page to the debugger help section that describes the tags
that you can include in the Print Text property for a Java
breakpoint.  I commited the change to the Netbeans 3.4 branch.
