Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 RC1 (Build 200905270001) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) During an active debugging session, I can add watches using a popup action, menu (Debug | New Watch...), a button in the variables view or by typing into the "<Enter new watch>" row in the Watches/Variables view. However, when the debugging session is finished, the "<Enter new watch>" row is no longer present in the view.
Well, "Enter new watch" should probably be moved to debuggercore module so that it's available for all debuggers and therefore it'd be also visible when no concrete debugger is running.
Fixed. http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/3d43e3ed9176
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201002150200* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/3d43e3ed9176 User: Daniel Prusa <dprusa@netbeans.org> Log: #166093: "Enter new watch" row enabled only during active debugging session
