Debugger windows like "Breakpoints" only show "DN" as a column header and the contents of all the windows are blank.

Any steps to reproduce ? Or could you please attach screenshot ? Thanks in advance.

Comment from Dave :
I have not been able to reproduce the problem.  Maybe it would help if I know what the "DM" column header means.  

When I was having the problem I couldn't get the "DM" to go away.  I assumed that I had overwhelmed the debugger by repeatedly invoking it to solve the problem.  I fixed the problem by tagging potential problems with println statements and was able to fix my code.  It was not a good solution, but I found the problem without the use of the debugger.  

Otherwise, when the debugger is working, I find that it's a useful tool.  But, of course, it did not help in this instance.

Do you write your own debugger views, or do you have this problem with some debugger that is already integrated in NetBeans?
There might be some exceptions in messages.log file, please attach it to this issue.
