ucar.unidata.util
Class Debug

java.lang.Object
  ucar.unidata.util.Debug

public class Debug
extends Object

This is a simple way to add runtime-settable debugging. Debug flags are just strings; the Debug class dynamically adds them to the debug menu. Example: putting a runtime flag in your code. A convention I use is to put the name of the debug flag in the message, so I know "where it comes from".

   if (Debug.isSet("Map.draw")) {
     System.out.println("Map.draw: makeShapes with "+displayProject);
   }
   

Example: adding the debug menu to a "System" menu

   private JMenu debugMenu;

   JMenu sysMenu = new JMenu("System");
   debugMenu = (JMenu) sysMenu.add(new JMenu("Debug"));
   debugMenu.addMenuListener( new MenuListener() {
     public void menuSelected(MenuEvent e) { ucar.unidata.util.Debug.constructMenu(debugMenu); }
     public void menuDeselected(MenuEvent e) {}
     public void menuCanceled(MenuEvent e) {}
   });
