Bug 212945

Summary:	VisualDebugger does not work with JavaFX 2.2
Product:	javafx	Reporter:	J Bachorik <yardus>
Component:	Debugger	Assignee:	J Bachorik <yardus>
Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	normal	CC:	kcr
Priority:	P2
Version:	7.2
Hardware:	PC
OS:	All
URL:	http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-21777
Issue Type:	DEFECT	Exception Reporter:

Description J Bachorik 2012-05-24 11:09:26 UTC

VisualDebugger can not be used on JavaFX 2.2
This is caused by the removal of internal API used by the debugger to obtain the applicaiton screenshot (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-17398).
Unfortunately, plainly switching to the newly offered API method snapshot() does not work either as it requires to be called on the FX application thread, which is not the case right now.

Fixing will require substantial changes to how the remote methods (eg. taking the application screenshot) are executed.

fixed in http://hg.netbeans.org/profiler-main/rev/2424c49db8c8

Comment 2 kcr 2012-05-31 15:08:33 UTC

Note that we also have a simple fix for this in progress in JavaFX, if you would prefer not to make the more complex change in NetBeans.

Comment 3 kcr 2012-05-31 15:09:53 UTC

Although I see that you already fixed it in NetBeans, so I'm wondering whether it is still worth applying the fix in JavaFX?
