Description Jan Stola 2001-05-25 15:15:16 UTC

Pilsen 010521
=============

In the section Debugging a Program > Examining Variables there
is a sentence "The Variables Pane of the Debugger window lists the local and 
global variables that are within the scope of the method that your program is 
stopped in."

"local and global variables" sounds like C/C++ terminology. There are no
global variables in Java. There should be something like "local, member
and class variables".

Comment 1 Unknown 2001-07-16 18:19:37 UTC

The sentence has been corrected to read:
   "The Variables pane of the Debugger window lists the local, member,
    and class variables that are within the scope of the method that
your
   program is stopped in."
All references to global variables have been removed.  The fix has
been
committed to Netbeans release 3.2 and will be merged into a Pilsen
build
in the near future.
