I'm kind of new to JS in detail, but need to get a good debugging environment to step through client side code. No problem - Eclipse has ATF, which is now installed and fully functional - very nice!
But, since the OX GUI is implemented as a SINGLE very large DOM object (ox.html) with the client side event engine turning on different views, etc., it debugs VERY slowly under ATF.
I actually think the slow ATF problem is when ATF tries to keep track of all the JS data structures and DOM manipulation stuff in the "Variables" tab under the Eclipse debugger - it seems like it bogs down trying to track the large amount of data...at least this is my speculation. Note that stepping through code is fine, but is slowed down as the variables are tracked and rendered in Eclipse.
Anybody have any ideas? Cut down the size of the ox.html (not really feasible)? Turn off the variable tracking in Eclipse (not desired)? Use some other JS debugger (though ATF seems to be the standard for Eclipse-based development)?
Great stuff - thanks.
My primary OX platform: OS-X Tiger v10.4.9
