This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When you want to see what exception was thrown (on exception breakpoint), you have to add {variableType} somewhere into the _print text_ property of that breakpoint. I think that {variableType} is a confusing name which should be replaced by something like {exceptionType}.
Bug assigned to the module owner.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
