Description bht 2008-12-23 11:05:22 UTC
Add mising project source root, or enable it if it is added but disabled when a breakpoint is set in a source file that
belongs to an open project.

Sometimes, the source root of the current project is lost from the debugger sources window.

In that case, when setting a breakpoint on a project java file, there is no feedback to the user that this breakpoint is
inactive.

This is a trap.

At some time back in history, it would have been impossible to remove the project's source code root from the debugger.

Now that we can do this, or the IDE does this for whatever reason, it is logical to classify the lack of the proposed
functionality as bug that was introduced some time in the past.

Otherwise, it should not be possible to remove any project source code tree from the debugger window or even disable it.

It appears to me that the number of combinations that can lead to debugging problems is too high, and that something
must be dome to reduce this number. THe debugger causes me more problems than what it is worth to me. Please refer to
issue no 115033.

definitely bug, but we need to know more details ...

> Now that we can do this, or the IDE does this for whatever reason
... again, this is real P1 issue, please provide more informations - steps to reproduce

Since this is apparently related to issue #115033, isn't the lost of the source root related to deletion of all classes,
including from the netbeans cache? You should not do this kind of things.

We need to do something with how debugger treats sources. After we fix issue #152425, this might not be a problem any
more, depending on how the fix will look like.

Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case. Reporter, please add requested
information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance.
