There was originally an issue with the Nodes API which didn't remove the Debugger Root Nodes from the validator upon finalization. That has since been fixed -- target 4.0. Please refer to the following issue for complete details: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi? id=33655 With the fix, the Debugger Root Nodes are removed from the validator after the object is garbage collected. However, IMHO the debugger should force the removal of the Root Node from the validator when the Root Node is no longer visible. Having the Root Node continue to be validated until finalization, is very inefficient! This can result in a lot of extra validation of hidden R0oot Nodes and children. Additionally, the problem is compounded if the Root Node visibility is toggled on/off -- adding the Root Node to the validation each time without removing it from the validation.
should be fixed in the next release
This is a performance-related architectural problem which we will be unable to address in the upcoming release. The validation engine will be rewritten for promo-D.
fixed i the main trunk - the implementation was rewritten
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
