Description _ krystyna 2008-09-30 23:17:08 UTC 
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080930142325)
Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b13
System: Windows XP version 5.1

We currently put up a dialog in Firefox if a user tries to run another multiple
session (client and server). We should do the same for IE.
Comment 1 _ deva 2008-10-01 07:40:54 UTC 
If you do only server side debugging multiple times, you would only see only one server side debugging session. This 
may be an expected behaviour.

I do not think we need to prevent multiple sessions in case of IE.
Comment 2 _ krystyna 2008-10-02 01:19:23 UTC 
We talked about this and the decision was not to limit IE which can do multiple sessions vs. Firefox.
So here is some information that should be documented somewhere - either FAQ or User Guide:



Using the NetBeans JavaScript Debugger with Internet Explorer permits 
more than one client-side sessions which can be managed from debugging 
sessions window. Note that if you are doing multiple sessions with 
both server and client side debugging, there will be only one session 
for the server side debugging. 


Currently, debugging with Firefox browser does not permit more than one 
client-side session. Users who launch more than one session will be 
prompted to finish the previous session and restart the current one.

A new implementation of JavaScript debugger is in trunk. Closing old issues.
