Currently not possible to change - I have no access to InputOutput of debugger ant task. Martine, can we do something about it? I also second this requirement and not just me: http://netbeans.org/projects/www/lists/nbui/archive/2011-09/message/0 Yes, I've also seen the complaint. For a long time already, debugger switches to the Variables window automatically when debugger session is started. We no longer switch to Debugger Console tab if there are no errors (invalid breakpoints, etc.). The automatic switching is not desired when there is a valuable output written into the output tab. There are at least two approaches how to solve it: 1) select Variables window only after a breakpoint is hit for the first time 2) or add an option to Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/Java Debugger if Variables window should be selected when debugger session starts. I agree with this request. The option should be to leave all windows as they were last arranged by the developer. The user should have total control over his toolset, not the other way around. :-) *** Bug 222765 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
