2. What we have now UI Adapter’s Layer CDT Extension Platform Debug Model
CDI Model

3. Flexible Hierarchy
Flexible element hierarchy: support the presentation of different debug architectures in all views provided by the debug platform.
Current implementation:
Session (Launch)
Target 1
Thread 1
Stack Frame 1
Target 2

4. Extensibility
Allow clients to add new features by extending the CDI layer
The CDI objects are not accessible from the UI layer

5. Solution UI Adapter’s Layer CDT Extension Platform Debug Model
CDI Model

6. Changes In the CDT Debug Framework
Implement adapters to support existing implementation
In the existing implementations
Each CDI object extends PlarformObject
API changes to support flexible hierarchy
Use the “functional” interfaces instead of of the “object” interfaces
Examples: ICDIThreadGroup and ICDIStack
Define asynchronous adapter interfaces for the CDT actions and implement default adapters

7. Examples public interface ICDITarget extends ICDIThreadGroup …
public interface ICDIThreadGroup extends … ICDIObject {
ICDIThread[] getThreads() throws CDIException;
ICDIThread getCurrentThread() throws CDIException; }

8. Examples public interface ICDIThread … { …
ICDIStackFrame[] getStackFrames() throws CDIException;
ICDIStackFrame[] getStackFrames(int fromIndex, int length) throws CDIException;
int getStackFrameCount() throws CDIException; }
public interface ICDIThread extends ICDIStack …
public interface ICDIStack {
