Description _ kherink 2005-05-04 08:32:54 UTC 
When debugging with the KVM which is read only i am able to edit the values
in the variable view. attempting top change an object reference generates an
error however when i try to change a field such as Vector.elementCount the
debugger accepts and displays the supplied new value. The best solution to this
problem would be to check if the remote VM is read-only and if so then all
editors for values should be disabled to avoid confusion.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2005-05-04 10:48:20 UTC 
Right. Appropriate checks needs to be added. Scheduling for 4.2.
Comment 2 _ kherink 2005-05-04 12:06:40 UTC 
The checks and subsequent disabling of value editors will improve the UI so
scheduling those for 4.2 is fine, however the fact that the debugger currently
shows incorrect values for variables is a bigger problem and should be addressed
in the 4.1 final release.

Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2005-05-04 13:21:13 UTC 
It's unfortunately too late for 4.1. Only P1 issues with major impact can be
fixed into 4.1, therefore this will not be addressed in 4.1 final release.
Comment 5 _ kherink 2005-08-30 12:43:30 UTC 
is this issue going to make it to 4.2?
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2005-10-17 18:53:43 UTC 
VirtualMachine.canBeModified() is on JDK 1.5 only. :-( Therefore this feature
can be implemented for JDK 1.5 and higher only.

We need to propagate that information to
org.netbeans.modules.debugger.jpda.ui.models.VariablesTableModel.isReadOnly()
therefore this will likely require some API change in JPDA debugger... :-(
Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2005-11-03 12:06:27 UTC 
Fixed in trunk. Please verify whether it works fine for you (on JDK >= 1.5).

Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
