Description kalle1 2012-11-03 18:04:07 UTC

Hi,
it's not (100%) clear if the debugger also skips uncaught exceptions if they're listed in "do not step into" (stepping into a method might be associated with using the "step into" command of the debugger explicitly). Just one label needs to be added next to the "Stop on uncaught exceptions" checkbox if this is the case or a feature similar to "do not step into" excludes list should be created for uncaught exceptions.
I have no idea why someone would choose numbers instead of words to specify priority ;), so I leave the default and I'm very sure that this has lowest priority.

I just noticed, that it's not the case that entries in "do not step into" list prevent the debugger to stop at uncaught exceptions in class that match at least one of the entries, so this is a feature proposal to create a list which tells the debugger not stop at uncaught exception for a list of classes/classpathes to be specified by the user very similar to the "do not step into" list.
