JDE-2.1.6beta16 Release Notes
=============================
* Added a local variables buffer to JDEbug.
This buffer displays the values of local variables whenever the program halts
at a breakpoint or is stepped. Trees are used to display objects and arrays.
Expanding an object shows its fields. If any of its fields are objects, you can
expand those too. Expanding an array shows the values of its elements. If the
elements are arrays (i.e., the array is multidimensional), you can expand each
of them until you get to the actual values. The local variables buffer shows
java.lang.String objects as strings rather than as objects.* Added a Show
Buffers command to JDEbug. This command shows the selected buffer, e.g., the
local variables buffer or the threads buffer, in the middle window of the
debugger frame.
* Added a jde-show-class-source (C-c C-v C-y) command.
This command finds and displays the source for the (unqualified) class name at
point. This command finds only classes whose source is in the paths specified
by jde-db-source-directories. Thanks to Phil Lord for providing the initial
implementation of this command.
* Fixed numerous small problems found by Michael Ernst.
Thanks Michael.
