Events Panel
The Events Panel is a panel in the top-level Main Window.
The Events Panel displays a history of the following debugger events:
- Target JVM started; displayed in green.
- Target JVM disconnected, exited or killed; displayed in green.
- Breakpoint hit; displayed in blue. A tool tip displays more information about the breakpoint.
- Java exception thrown; displayed in red. A tool tip displays more information
about the exception.
- Thread started/death; displayed in green.
- Class prepared/unloaded; displayed in magenta.
- Target JVM suspended during startup after being attached
or listened to; displayed in red.
- Watchpoints: Access (read) watchpoints are displayed in purple;
Modification (write) watchpoints are displayed in red.
The Events Panel is automatically brought to the front when
an exception or watchpoint event is displayed.
When a breakpoint, exception or watchpoint event occurs, JDebugTool requests that its main window
be brought to the front. However, the results
are operating system and window manager dependent.
The Events Panel table contains the following columns.
[Shift] Click on a column header to sort the table in
[descending] ascending order according to that column.
- # - the event number.
- Event - the event message (see above).
- Thread - the event thread name and the corresponding thread object ID.
A tool tip displays the full thread name including
group names. The thread is displayed in green if the thread
belongs to the "system" thread group, and the thread is displayed in blue if
the thread belongs to the "system.main" group.
See the Events tab of the Global Settings Dialog for Events
Panel options.
