RE: [platform-debug-dev] Concurrent Debug against J2ME emulators?

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The concurrency is controlled by the impementation of the debug model. The 
Java debugger allows concurrency where it can, as JDI supports it. For 
example, reading attribtues for stack frames. The model ensures thread 
safety when it comes to modifying a thread. For example, you can only 
perform one step operation or evaluation on any given thread at one time. 
It's not something a client is intended to control - it's inherent in the 
debug architecture.

We do not intend to add API to control it, as we found this problematic 
(see the "Findings" section):

RE: [platform-debug-dev] Concurrent Debug against J2ME emulators?






Fair enough.  I've been meaning to do a bit of testing of EclipseME to see 
how well it is working within the 3.1 stream.  I will plan on picking up 
the new milestone build and checking things out a bit.

I've been following the concurrency discussion from a distance.  How much 
control is there over the concurrency of each debug session?  Is this 
something that I can have EclipseME control as an external plugin calling 
into the JDT debugger support?  If not, is that something that could be 
added to the API somewhere?

Thanks,
Craig

We depend on community support for testing of the emulators. The next 
milestone build will be out next week (Dec 17), which would be a suitable 
build to test with.

Thanks,

Darin
