Description Marian Petras 2001-10-22 16:15:41 UTC 
Let's assume a user has a simple inheritance hierarchy of classes:

   package.Class
   - method 'method()'

   package.SubClass extends packages.Class
   - method 'method()' (overrides Class.method())

The user wants to stop whenever method 'method()' is called on object of type
'package.Class' or its subtype. Currently s/he has to place breakpoints on
method 'method()' in all subclasses of class 'package.Class'.

Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 2 Marek Grummich 2002-07-22 08:56:58 UTC 
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.

Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2005-05-13 16:32:42 UTC 
We would need to scan for all subclasses. Therefore it seems like some
integration with Java module would be necessary.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2006-07-03 16:47:17 UTC 
MethodEntryRequest.addClassFilter(ReferenceType refType) can be used to
implement this.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2007-04-10 13:50:23 UTC 
This is already fixed in 6.0 builds. We use MethodEntryRequest for that.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2010-04-29 09:09:00 UTC 
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
