org.netbeans.api.debugger
Class DebuggerManager

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.api.debugger.DebuggerManager

public final class DebuggerManager
extends Object
extends Object

The root class of Debugger APIs. DebuggerManager manages list of Sessions, Breakpoints and Watches.

Description
Functionality Start & finish debugging: DebuggerManager manages a process of starting a new debugging ( startDebugging(org.netbeans.api.debugger.DebuggerInfo)). It cooperates with all installed DebuggerEngineProviders to create a new Session (or Sessions) and a new DebuggerEngine (or Engines). It supports kill all sessions too (finishAllSessions()).

Sessions management: DebuggerManager keeps list of all Sessions (getSessions()), and manages current session (getCurrentSession(), setCurrentSession(org.netbeans.api.debugger.Session)).

Engine management: DebuggerManager provides current engine (getCurrentEngine()). Current engine is derivated from current session. So, debuggerManager.getCurrentEngine () == debuggerManager. getCurrentSession.getCurrentEngine () should be always true.

Breakpoints management: DebuggerManager keeps list of all shared breakpoints (getBreakpoints()). Breakpoint can be added (addBreakpoint(org.netbeans.api.debugger.Breakpoint)) and removed (removeBreakpoint(org.netbeans.api.debugger.Breakpoint)).

Watches management: DebuggerManager keeps list of all shared watches (getWatches()). Watch can be created & added (createWatch(java.lang.String)).

Support for listening: DebuggerManager propagates all changes to two type of listeners - general PropertyChangeListener and specific DebuggerManagerListener.

Clinents / Providers DebuggerCore module should be the only one provider of this abstract class. This class should be called from debugger plug-in modules and from debugger UI modules.

Lifecycle The only one instance of DebuggerManager should exist, and it should be created in getDebuggerManager() method.
Evolution No method should be removed from this class, but some functionality can be added.
