[jdt-debug-dev] StackFrames and Variables

[Joe Tague <jtague@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the course of trying to record some information when debugging I have 
an implementation of IJavaBreakpointListener. When my 
JavaMethodBreakpoints are hit I simply printout some information to the 
console. My breakpoints have been set up to not suspend execution of the 
 debugee.

I have the following code to print out some information:

System.out.println
("<METHOD=\""+breakpoint.getMarker().getAttribute("METHOD").toString()+"\" 
");

System.out.print
("SIGNATURE=\""+breakpoint.getMarker().getAttribute("SIG").toString()+"\" 
");

System.out.print
("LINE=\""+breakpoint.getMarker().getAttribute(IMarker.LINE_NUMBER).toString()+"\"/>");

IJavaStackFrame[] frames = (IJavaStackFrame[]) thread.getStackFrames();
  for(int i=0;i<frames.length;i++){
      List variables = frames[i].getArgumentTypeNames();
      Iterator iter = variables.iterator();
          while(iter.hasNext()){
            System.out.println
	    ("<VARIABLE =\""+iter.next().toString()+"\"/>");
            }
   }

This is contained in my breakpointHit(..) method that always returns a 
result of IJavaBreakpointListener.DONT_SUSPEND. However this code seems 
to suspend the execution of the debugee. I launch the debugee by using 
the Debug As.. button in the Run-time Workbench, before this would 
execute the debugee without suspending the execution when the 
breakpoints were hit.

How can I get the information from StackFrames, Variables and their 
Values without suspending the execution of the debugee?

TIA for any help anyone can provide

Joe

(Note: I know the information for method/signature can be returned from 
the breakpoint itself, however I have annotated other information to the 
marker that I use it's just not shown here)
