Description jrojcek 2006-11-28 08:59:20 UTC 
Finding	
One participant requested user-defined watches, where he can define display of watched object in 
debugger. For example he can specify that JTable objects would display number of rows in watches 
window.

Severity	
One participant explicitly requested this feature. This would be very useful when debugging complex 
objects.

Recommendation	
Try to design and implement such feature.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2007-01-11 09:41:57 UTC 
Agreed, this is something we want to implement in the future.
Comment 2 Roman Ondruska 2007-09-17 11:16:58 UTC 
Will be considered for debugger redesign (post-NB6 release).
Comment 3 markiewb 2013-10-23 19:24:41 UTC 
Introduced in 6.7. See http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewAndNoteWorthyNB67#Options_for_Java_Debugging

So resolve as worksforme
