Events Window
The top-level Events Window (which is displayed by double-clicking
on an event in the Events Panel
in the top-level Main Window)
displays the following debugging events:
The Events Window displays a list (in the left-hand side) of event numbers.
The list items are sorted in ascending order according to the event number.
A tool tip on each list item, displays more information about the event.
Selecting a list item, displays the event details in the top right-hand
side panel.
A popup menu is displayed by right-clicking on the list:
- Close Event - removes the selected event in the list (and from
display in the Events Window).
- Close All But Selected - removes all events in the list (and from display
in the Events Window) except for the currently selected list item (event).
- Close All Events - removes all events in the list (and from display
in the Events Window).
- Help... - displays this Help.
stack
The bottom right-hand side Stack table displays the stack backtrace for the hit
debugging event, if applicable.
Each row in the table represents a stack frame. The top row is the outermost
frame [where the event was hit].
The bottom row is the innermost frame [towards main() or run()].
The User can select a row in the table to display in the
Source Panel the source code line corresponding to a particular frame.
table
Each stack frame has the following attributes (which are the columns of the table).
[Shift] Click on a column header to sort the table in
[descending] ascending order according to that column.
- # - the depth of the stack frame [main() or run() has a depth of one].
- Class - the class name (a tool tip displays the full class name).
Java classes that are specified as stepping excludes in the
Stepping Excludes Dialog are displayed in black,
otherwise the User's classes are displayed in blue
- Method - the method name. Methods belonging to Java classes that are
specified as stepping excludes in the
Stepping Excludes Dialog are displayed in black,
otherwise methods belonging to the User's classes are displayed in blue.
- File:Line - the source file name and the corresponding line
number displayed in green. If the location is unknown, the text will be displayed in red.
context menu
A popup Context Menu is displayed by right-clicking on the table:
- Unsort - returns the table data to its default order.
- Columns... - displays a dialog that allows the User to show or hide
individual table columns.
- Help... - displays this Help.
Note that clicking on the above buttons or clicking on a row in the above stack
table does not change the current context of the debugger. To change the
current context of the debugger with respect to the stack, use the
Stack Panel in the Main Window.
Closing the Events Window will remove all events from display
in the Events Window. Minimize the Events Window instead, if you want to
keep displaying the events.
The title bar displays the current project name.
