Breakpoints
The debugger must reach a line with a breakpoint in order to pause the program (or even switch to the Debug perspective).
Adding and Removing Breakpoints¶
To add or remove a breakpoint, double-click in the gutter next to the class's line numbers. * You can do this on statements only, not comments or empty lines.
Running the Program¶
Select Debug As->Java Application to start the program.
When the program stops at a breakpoint, the line is highlighted.
The style of the breakpoint tells you what the debugger will do upon reaching it.
A disabled breakpoint will not pause the program.
