Hello, this is a problem we keep having with the NetBeans Debugger in our NB Platform application, but it seems a general problem with the Java debugger. It is here since years but lately it is really unusable: cannot really debug at all... See below.
Anyone else having this problem? It is so unusable we are thinking to migrate from NetBeans Platform to IntelliJ platform so we can use IntelljJ as the IDE for developing it. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4037 We have a pretty big NetBeans Platform Application (~180 modules and 5 > suites) and when the debugger reaches the first breakpoint it got stuck: > the tabs Debugging, Variables, Breakpoints, etc. are all with a "Please > wait..." node and with the NetBeans sampler I took a few snapshots > highlighting it is spending a lot of time on calls like: > > - org.netbeans.modules.debugger.jpda.ui.SourcePath.getURL() > - org.netbeans.modules.debugger.jpda.ui.SourcePath.annotate() > > which at the end boil down to a lot of calls like: > > - java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList.remove() > - java.io.File.isFile() > > Attached the snapshots. > Then if I press Continue the debugger remain stuck: now Pause and Continue > buttons in the toolbar are disabled... > I kept close and restarting NetBeans but no luck... I remember got this > behavior even with NB 8.2, sometimes though it goes through and I'm able to > debug, but very rarely! Thanks for any help, hint to solve this problem! -- Matteo Di Giovinazzo
