| <p>Provides a generic debugger user interface that clients may customize via standard |
| workbench extension points.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Package Specification</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Eclipse platform debug UI plug-in provides a set of classes and interfaces to |
| support a language independent debugger user interface. A generic debug perspective is provided with a common |
| set of views. Clients contribute actions to the debug views via the |
| standard workbench extension points.</p> |
| |
| <h4>The Debug View</h4> |
| |
| <p>The debug view presents a tree of launched programs in debug and non-debug (run) mode. |
| The view provides support for standard interactions such as terminating, stepping, suspending, and resuming |
| threads, debug targets, and processes. The debug view is linked to an editor view, variable view, and |
| console. The editor view is used to display source code for stack frames. A selection in |
| the debug view causes the line of code being executed to be highlighted in the editor |
| view. The variable view shows the visible variables in the selected stack frame, and the |
| console view handles I/O for the debuggable process.</p> |
| |
| <h4>The Variables View</h4> |
| |
| <p>The variables view presents a tree of variables for the currently selected stack frame. |
| A "details" area may be hidden/shown which provides a detailed description of |
| the selected variable. For example, the Java debugger displays the result of |
| invoking 'toString()' on the selected variable in this area.</p> |
| |
| <h4>The Breakpoints View</h4> |
| |
| <p>The breakpoints view presents a list of all breakpoints currently defined in the |
| workspace. It supports enabling/disabling and breakpoint removal.</p> |
| |
| <h4>The Expression View</h4> |
| |
| <p>The expression view presents a tree of expressions and their corresponding values.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Debug Model Presentation</h4> |
| |
| <p>The debug UI plug-in defines an extension (<b>org.eclipse.debug.ui.debugModelPresentations</b>) |
| point to allow implementations of debug models to provide custom rendering and |
| presentation of its debug elements. Extensions are registered for a specific debug |
| model. It is intended that an implementation of a debug model will also provide an |
| implementation of a debug model presentation. The presentation provides: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>an image for a debug element or breakpoint</li> |
| <li>a label for a debug element or breakpoint</li> |
| <li>an editor input and editor id used to display a debug element, breakpoint, or source element</li> |
| <li>a detailed description of a variable value, used to display |
| in the "details" section of the variables view</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h4>Launch Configuration Dialog</h4> |
| |
| <p>The debug UI plug-in provides a lanuch configuration dialog for |
| creating and editing launch configurations. Clients may contribute |
| tabs to the launch configuration dialog via the launchConfigurationTabGroup |
| extension point.</p> |
