When a large Map is expanded in Locals Variables or Watches, one gets a long array of entries numbered from 0. Not only this large data structure causes performance problems (see issue #59541), it's also strangely displayed, which causes usability problem. I would expect to see key-value pairs, ideally sorted by keys (if it's not a Map which already have some defined order - e.g. SortedMap or LinkedHashMap).
This also concerns collections which are displayed as an array - Lists, etc.
The array of map entries is now displayed in the same approach as arrays are. This solves the performance & memory problem: /cvs/debuggerjpda/ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/jpda/ui/models/JavaVariablesFilter.java,v <-- JavaVariablesFilter.java new revision: 1.10; previous revision: 1.9 There is issue #40153 for the nicer view.
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
