Description _ pkuzel 1999-09-09 23:46:04 UTC 
1. JPDA has exception breakpoints
2. Default debugger don`t support those and it`s confusing that no message is popped to notify that they don`t work

[Hanz]
In future releases the JPDA debugger will be used as preferred (default) debugger implementation. JPDA debugger will support all features (superset of tools debugger). Such notification must be showen
 when user starts a new debugger session (not when adds such breakpoint). Moreover when user adds such breakpoint for server (for example) than he/she didnt want to see this notification each start of
 some client...


But may be, some dialog notifying about set of all unresolvable breakpoints together may be created....

Exception breakpoints are supported by both JPDA and tools debugger.
Comment 2 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 17:36:20 UTC 
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
