RE: Variable display in debugger

[John]

Hi,   Firstly, I believe the etiquette is to always use “Reply All” so that the rest of the group is aware of the thread progression.   What if that's not there (as in debugging 3rd party code)?   I haven’t used any third party code that isn’t the JVM or could access the source to and so I am not aware of any other method to view all the data within a class as a single valuewithin the debugger as this would depend on how to present the Array elements and each of those could have arrays etc.   Having said that, I just remembered that I also publish instances of classes as JSON (via Googles Gson API, although I assume you could use Jackson as well) using the following code     static String toJson (Object object, boolean suppressNulls) {     GsonBuilder gsonBuilder;     gsonBuilder = new GsonBuilder();       if (!suppressNulls) {       gsonBuilder.serializeNulls();     }     gsonBuilder.setPrettyPrinting();       return gsonBuilder.create().toJson(object);   }   And so you could use that in your code to publish the nested array to a log or System.out()   John   From: Admin @ Goodun Sent: 09 January 2024 15:06 To: John Subject: Re: Variable display in debugger   That's great. but it seems to rely on you coding your classes with a toString method.   What if that's not there (as in debugging 3rd party code)?       --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
