Description Petr Jiricka 2004-01-07 09:47:39 UTC

When starting a web application in the debugger
using the 'Debug -> Start Session -> Run in
Debugger' action, the IDE freezes for some time,
and no progress dialog is visible. This is because
starting the debugger happends in the AWT thread,
see the attached thread dumps.

Two thread dumps, look at the AWT event queue

Yes, I know about it, it's on my task list. Thought this can be solved
after feature freeze.

Comment 3 _ rkubacki 2004-01-07 10:51:03 UTC

Someone should evaluate if it is OK to declare StartAction in debugger
as sunchronous. Maybe it is OK but then you can't block AWT thread
with sleep().

Started task in new thread.
