| <h3>New Features in Milestone 3 (release 3.0)</h3> |
| <h4>Extensible Watch Expressions</h4> |
| <p>In release 3.0, the debug platform provides an implementation of watch expressions. |
| Debug models can contribute watch expression delegates if they support watch |
| expressions. When a stack frame is selected, the associated delegate is queried |
| to provide a value for a watch expression in the given (stack frame) context. |
| The debug platform provides persistence, enabling, disabling, entering, and |
| editing of watch expressions. See the new extension point <code>org.eclipse.debug.core.watchExpressionDelegates</code> |
| for more details.</p> |
| <h3>API Changes</h3> |
| <h4>Launch Tabs & Tab Groups</h4> |
| <p>Launch tab groups and launch tabs are no longer notified when a launch completes. |
| The method <code>launched(ILaunch)</code> in the interfaces <code>ILaunchConfigurationTab</code> |
| and <code>ILaunchConfigurationTabGroup</code> has been deprecated and is no |
| longer called. Relying on this method for launch function was always problematic, |
| since tabs only exist when launching is performed from the launch dialog. Also, |
| with the introduction of background launching, this method can no longer be |
| called, as the launch dialog is be closed before the resulting launch object |
| exists.</p> |

| <h3>New Features in Milestone 2 (release 3.0)</h3> |
| <h4>Extensible Debug Events</h4> |
| <p>The debug platform supports an extensible set of debug events. A debug event |
| kind of <code>MODEL_SPECIFIC</code> has been added in the 3.0 release to indicate |
| an application specific debug event. When a debug event of kind <code>MODEL_SPECIFIC</code> |
| is created, the detail code in the event is client defined. The source of the |
| event (debug element that generated the event) identifies the debug model from |
| which the event was generated. The debug platform and user interface ignores |
| model specific debug events.</p> |
| <p>A data field has been added to debug events to allow clients to store application |
| specific data in debug events.</p> |
| <h4>Extensible Instruction Pointer Images</h4> |
| <p>When a stack frame is selected in the debug view, the debugger opens a corresponding |
| editor and displays an image in the editor ruler on the line that corresponds |
| to the selected stack frame. In releases prior to 3.0, the images were provided |
| by the debug plug-in and could not be overridden by a debug model. In release |
| 3.0, a debug model presentation (<code>IDebugModelPresentation</code>) can provide |
| specialized images by implementing the debug editor presentation interface (<code>IDebugEditorPresentation</code>).</p> |
| <h4>Editor Positioning and Custom Decorations</h4> |
| <p>In release 3.0, debug model presentations can control the positioning of editors |
| opened by the debugger for a stack frame, and may add extra decorations to the |
| editor for a stack frame (for example, custom background coloring, etc.). This |
| can be acheived by having a debug model presentation implement the new interface |
| <code>IDebugEditorPresentation</code>, and implementing the appropriate methods |
| - <code>selectAndReveal</code>,<code> decorateEditor</code>, and <code>removeDecorations</code>.</p> |

| <h3> Extensible Launch Modes</h3> |
| <p>The debug platform supports an extensible set of launch modes. Releases prior |
| to 3.0 only supported two launch modes - run and debug. The debug platform now |
| provides an extension point for contributing new launch modes - <code>org.eclipse.debug.core.launchModes</code>. |
| The debug platform now defines (contributes) three basic launch modes - run, |
| debug, and profile. Other clients may contribute new launch modes. The launch |
| manager (<code>ILaunchManager</code>) has additional API to retrieve all launch |
| modes, and a human readable label for each launch mode.</p> |
| <p>The debug platform has a new extension point to support the contribution of |
| a launch delegate for a specific launch configuration type and launch mode - |
| <code>org.eclipse.debug.core.launchDelegates</code>. This allows launch configurations |
| to be extended by third parties, to support new launch modes. For example, a |
| client could contribute a launch delegate that launches a Java Application in |
| profile mode (currently, the SDK does not provide a profiler).</p> |
| <p>The debug platform has added an optional element (<code>launchMode</code>), |
| to the definition of a launch tab group extension - <code>(org.eclipse.debug.ui.launchConfigurationTabGroup</code>), |
| to support the contribution of a set of tabs for a specific launch configuration |
| type and launch mode. This allows third parties to extend an existing lauch |
| configuration user interface. For example, a client contributing a launch delegate |
| to profile a Java Application would also contribute a set of tabs to configure |
| the profiler. The launchMode element defines a perpsective attribute to specify |
| the default perspective assocaited with the launch configuration type and mode. |
| This controls the perspective that is switched to/opened, by default, when a |
| configuration is launched in the associated mode. For example, a client contributing |
| a profiler may also contribute a profiling perspective that should be displayed |
| when an application is profiled.</p> |
