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".
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.
Verified in Netbeans build 20011012.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
