Description _ gtzabari 2005-11-29 20:49:28 UTC 
I believe I filed a similar enhancement a few years ago, but today I found a
GPLed implementation which actually does this:
http://www.lambdacs.com/debugger/debugger.html

How reasonable would it be to integration this kind of thing into Netbeans? The
way I see it:

PRO:

- Much easier/quicker to debug any problem

CON:

- Performance implication to "remembering" all variable changes over time.

Ideally we should be able to enable this feature conditionally so we only pay
the performance impact when we're debugging certain kinds of bugs.
