Bug 108264

Description Peter Larsen 2005-08-29 09:11:05 EDT

When a thread changes its name, while showing the debug view,
the debug view is not updated. The only way to get the debug view
to show the new names is to select another view and go back.

This a big problem in a multithreaded program where threads are reused.

The following simple program shows it. Start in debug mode and show the debug
view. After 10 seconds the thread name should change but doesnt.

public class ThreadnameBug extends Thread{
	
	public static void main(String[] artgs) {
		new ThreadnameBug().start();
	}

	public void run() {
		try {
			System.out.println("Sets name to 1");
			setName("Name1");
			sleep(10000);
			System.out.println("Sets name to 2");
			setName("Name2");
			join();
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
	}
