Q: What are the system requirements?

A: Eclipse Mars (4.5) or higher. Any operating system should work. Tested on Windows 10 and OS X El Capitan.

Q: I fulfill the system requirements, but the tool doesn't work?

A: Make sure you followed all installation instructions. If it still doesn't work, please write an email to csteimer@student.ethz.ch and let me know about your operating system and version of Eclipse.

Q: What languages is the tool available in?

A: The tool is available in German and English at this moment. There is only one download, you can change the language at any time.

Q: What is this tool?

A: The tool allows you to visually debug your code. It is particularly suited for small data structures. It comes in the form of an Eclipse plug-in containing a single view.

Q: What can I use the tool for?

A: You can debug relatively small data structures (graps with up to 100-200 nodes) with it. While well-suited to data structures, generally any smaller program can be debugged.

Q: What can't I use the tool for?

A: You probably won't have any success trying to debug a large, sophisticated program with it. Anything with more than a few 100 nodes will either take very long or completely fail.

Q: How do I install it?

A: Check out the installation section of the manual.

Q: How can I debug a program?

A: As usual: Set breakpoints and start debugging while the view is open. The view then automatically changes its contents at each breakpoint.

Q: How can I report a bug?

A: To report a bug, write an email to csteimer@student.ethz.ch. Explain in detail when the bug occurs. If the bug happens for specific code you are developing, send that code as well. Don't forget to include your configuration file if you made any changes.

Q: How can I contribute?

A: Right now, the best thing that you can do is to use the tool and give feedback on it. To improve the usability and the features, it's very important to have people developing their own code with it.
