Description Ed Willink CLA 2010-01-04 11:26:10 EST
M4

Could someone please verify that this bug is really fixed before declaring it fixed. A search for "variable update" reveals potentially 12 copies of this bug, many independently claiming to be fixed. It is NOT fixed.

On 3.6M4, I was single stepping into

  public EPackage getPackage(String namespace)
  {
    EPackage ePackage = registry.getEPackage(namespace);
/*
    if (ePackage == null)
    {
      ePackage = demandRegistry.getEPackage(namespace);
    }
*/
    return ePackage;
  }

and at the return statement "ePackage" did not appear in the variables view at all. After pursuing the usual workaround of changing to the Breakpoints view and back to the Variables View, the Variables View briefly shows a grey display with text vaguely resembling "JDT .. Timeout...". Sorry didn't note it as it flashed by. The Variables View then showed ePackage as a line but without an ability to open it to display content. The corresponding toString() display was correct. Other workarounds such as viwing alternate stack depths and retrning failed to make the ePackage available for deeper inspection.

The timeout message

A few more single steps and I start getting the message more regularly; sometimes in the Variables View, sometimes as a pop-up.

Try increasing the "Java > Debug : Debugger Timeout" setting (default is 3000ms).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
