| <td class="content"> |
| The <b>Run/Debug</b> preference page now has a new option to allow to <b>show debug |
| values inline on text editors</b>. When enabled, this will print debug values as a code minings annotation on the end |
| of line. The values shown would then react to change in the debug context as you navigate |
| through the execution. |
| <p> |
| This is an experimental feature and since this requires extra effort for the debuggers to enable it, not all |
| debuggers may support it yet. |

| <td class="title"><a href="#large-file-associations">Large File Associations preferences</a></td> |
| <td class="content"> |
| A new set of preferences is added, that can specify which editor is used to open large files of a specific type. This allows users |
| to specify editors that scale better for large project files: e.g. a text editor for large generated sources, |
| or an external editor for very large files that are not handled well by Eclipse editors. |
| <p>The preferences can be set via the respective preference page: <b>General > Editors > Large File Associations</b></p> |
| <p><img src="images/large_file_associations_preference_page.png" alt="Large File Associations preference page"/></p> |
| <p>The preferences can also be via product customization (<code>-productCustomization <path to file></code>), e.g. contents:</p> |
| <pre> |
| # all types with a preference, needed by the preference page UI |
| org.eclipse.ui.workbench/largeFileLimits_types=java,xml,txt |
| org.eclipse.ui.workbench/largeFileLimits_disabled=cpp |

| # default, show prompt for all to types that don't have a preference |
| org.eclipse.ui.workbench/largeFileLimits_default_enabled=true |

| <td class="content"> |
| Eclipse Debug framework can now show process ID (pid) of the started processes. |
| The pid is shown (if supported by the concrete debugger implementation) in the <b>Console</b> |
| view description and <b>Properties</b> page for the process. |
| <p><img src="images/process_properties.png" alt="Process properties page shows process ID"/></p> |
| <p> |
| This should work out of the box for all |
| processes using or extending <code>org.eclipse.debug.core.model.RuntimeProcess</code>, and can be |
| easily added to other processes by specifying <code>IProcess.ATTR_PROCESS_ID</code> process attribute. |
| </p> |
| <p>Additionally, the <b>Java debugger</b> now shows process id for the process element in the <b>Debug</b> view.</p> |
