Re: [gwt-contrib] debugging of JSNI code
Are you saying that the JS debugger automatically triggers even today when one tries to step into a JSNI method? I know that manually adding a debugger; command within JSNI code will trigger the JS debugger, and I also have a helper GWT JSNI method called SC.debugger() which I can add anywhere in my GWT code but what I was hoping for is the debugger command automatically be issued by the GWT plugin when one tries to step into JSNI code from my Java IDE. If this is already the default behavior, then shame on me :) I can try it out later today as well but I don't recollect seeing this behavior.

The newer versions of Safari has a very good debugger that performs well. The hosted mode plugin for Safari can have the Enable Script Debugging setting turned on for the hosted mode session.

Ooops, my bad. I agree, what you describe would be the ideal user experience. No one here is working on that at the moment, that I'm aware.

No one here is working on that at the moment, that I'm aware. It isn't clear how the plugin would know you wanted to break on entry into the JSNI code. It seems like it would take deep integration between the Java debugger and the DevMode infrastructure. Aside from that, there is the technical issue of how the plugin could inject the breakpoint reliably into the JSNI just when you wanted it without affecting anything else -- probably solvable, but it would likely take some effort. -- John A.
