Description Jesse Glick 2004-07-21 20:02:10 UTC 
040720, 1.5.0 b58, Ocean (= Metal on 1.5). It
seems it is no longer possible to double-click
lines in the Call Stack view to jump to the
corresponding sources. This is annoying; have to
use Fast Open and Goto instead. Tried both Name
and Location columns. No hyperlinks displayed.
Comment 1 Maros Sandor 2004-07-27 13:53:07 UTC 
I cannot reproduce it. Clicking in the Name column seems to jump to
the correct execution point. I tried 1.5.0-b58 on WXP and 1.5.0-b59 on
Fedore Core 1. Both work well. Reopen if you are still able to
reproduce it.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-07-27 14:51:18 UTC 
True, double-clicking does work. However there are two problems
relative to 3.6:

1. There is no underlining or other visual marking on the Name column
entries to make it clear that you can click them. For example, you
cannot click the Location column, even though intuitively that might
be what you would expect to be hyperlinked. Currently you see e.g.

   ClassPath.getRoots:163      ClassPath.java

with only the first hyperlinked, which in all makes little sense IMHO;
would expect

   ClassPath.getRoots          ClassPath.java:163

or

   ClassPath.getRoots          ClassPath.java:163 in
/space/src/nb_all/java/api/src/org/netbeans/api/java/classpath/

with either both columns or only the second one hyperlinked.

2. There is no visual distinction between classes that you do have
source for and those which you do not. This is what led me to believe
that there was no hyperlinking at all: most of the classes in the
stack trace were in JUnit (debugging a unit test) and I had no source;
but these lines look the same as the one or two lines in my own code
for which I have source, and clicking the JUnit lines silently does
nothing. So trying a few lines at random I came to think that none of
them worked.

Sorry, it was mistake.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2005-05-16 18:00:54 UTC 
Hyperlink should be added there. Or at least "Go to source" context action.
Comment 6 Quality Engineering 2009-12-21 04:43:55 UTC 
This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
