Places are just for navigation. They have nothing to do with MVP.

The best thing you can do is to place breakpoints and then step through the code. Navigating the code with something like ctrl + click as in Java IDEs is not possible with source maps (although you can search, open file, goto line using shortcuts). Also conditional break points obviously need to use JavaScript expressions. At the end you are debugging JavaScript that only got visually transformed into your original Java code to please your eyes. As an alternative you could try the following in Chrome: - use the SDM parameter -XmethodNameDisplayMode with your desired setting - Disable source maps in Chrome Dev Tools. Now you are dealing with the raw JavaScript (which already looks pretty similar to your Java code) but when hitting a breakpoint Chrome will display your Java class/method name for each stack element. So you kind of see a Java stack trace in Chrome but when clicking on it you see the raw JS code. The added benefit of using raw JS is that while a break point is active you can now hover JS code and Chrome will give you additional information about the code as well as a link to jump to the definition. And with the Java like stack trace it is easier to spot the code path in your IDE. Might be an interesting compromise. Other than that there is the experimental Eclipse plugin named SDBG so you can use your IDE for debugging (but you are still debugging JS!). IntelliJ can do the same out of the box. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
