vscode-java-debug-ext README

This extends the Debugger for Java VSCode extension.

Features

Adds the following command(s):

This basically addresses Provide "Open type" button in variables' menu

UPDATE: For innert types shows all outer types as well.

UPDATE: Use fully qualified name for types.

Outline (Java Debugger) view (formerly Java Debugger outline) to address vscode-java-debug issue 1298 allowing direct seeting of method(aka function) breakpoint.

This will allow setting:

• Class load breakpoint ClassPrepareRequest
• Constructor and Method breakpoint
  • Overloaded constructors and methods (Not possible because of the limitations of VSCode Java Debug support even though it is supported by the Java Debugger API)
  • All overloaded Constructors and methods Entry MethodEntryRequest
  • Constructors and methods Exit MethodExitRequest

NOTE The method entry breakpoint is implemented.

• Field watchpoint
  • Access watchpoint AccessWatchpointRequest
  • Modification watchpoint ModificationWatchpointRequest

Known Issues

This works well when toString() for Object types is disabled in Variables view.

The following issues have been fixed:

https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-java/issues/3074 https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls/issues/2617

This means the package node is displayed for library classes in the outline view.
