[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-8548) Support auto discovery of remote processes for debugging

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-8548: -------------------------------------------- Just updated - this UI is *much* better IMO - no blockage and its informative ;) I found a few "gotchas": * The progress bar shows "Discover VM PID=489" when waiting for a java that is waiting for connection. That's not very clear to the user what that means and how many processes does it need to wait for ;) I suggest something like "1 out of 3: Discovering port, main class and arguments for process id 489" * Putting in background and starting a second "Remote Java Application" causes two scans to occur and wait for each other and eventually show the main dialog twice. I suggest showing a dialog saying "Remote Java Application scan already in progress. Please wait for it to be complete." and then if doable have a "Bring scan to foreground" button next to a "Ok" and "Try again" button. * When Class is Unknown it just says Unknown in the class column - I would leave it blank or put "<Unknown>" to signify the class is actually not named Unknown. * Name column I assume should actually be PID or Process ID ? * Finish is probably better named as "Connect" or "Launch" ? * Using the name "Default" is not really good for default configuration - I suggest using the same name Run As/Debug As would give to a launch (i.e. the project name). In case of multiple projects selected then I would use "myapp + N more" where myapp is the project for the first element and N is the number of projects. Or if just to be simple just "myapp" Maybe add "Remote " as prefix ?, so it becomes "Remote myapp" ? * It seems I can't do Remote Debug on other selections than a Project resource ? Couldn't it just take the project of the current selected resource ? * ...and I still think using normal Remote Java Applications config would be the best approach for this functionality; and allow user to choose if there are any ambiguity. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
