By default CND build disbales debugging feature, so only few developers know how to enable it. Now it's time to enable it by defalut (i-team decision).
The code, that enables debugging feature is in file GdbDebuggerModule.java: public class GdbDebuggerModule extends ModuleInstall { private CustomizerNode debugCustomizerNode; private static boolean enabled = Boolean.getBoolean("gdb.module.enabled"); The suggested fix is to make it enabled by default, but to provide an option to disable it: private static boolean enabled = !Boolean.getBoolean("gdb.module.disabled");
The debugger is now fully enabled by default. To disable it you should disable the module. I've removed the code which lets you disable via a property.
