Hi,

I want to raise awareness of the broken state of debugging in NetBeans
IDE. I raise it here and now, because reverting the initial changes
alone does not help anymore.

The problem starts with this PR:

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3158

that was reverted via

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3181

and resubmitted as

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3204

After the merge of PR3204 it looked ok, but I did not test with
"Suspend all threads" and this is now totally broken in NetBeans
master.

See the final comment in PR 3204 for a description of the issue.

The big question is: What to do about this? A trivial revert fails as
there are conflicting changes in the area.

The best case scenario: Debugging will be fixed and be stable again as
it was in the past.

Worst case scenario: We revert all changes, that touch the JPDA code
and everything, that causes conflicts.

I would prefer the best case scenario.

Greetings

Matthias
