Eclipse not recognizing breakpoints

Question

I am having this weird bug in eclipse when setting my breakpoints it just over lap it without passing through the breakpoint where the method is called. I know it keeps bypassing it for the reason that the only method that is being called is on a lot of breakpoints.

Did anyone encounter this kind of problem or know a fix?

Solution 1

Restarted eclipse and this time I was able to debug properly. Strange bug I am uncertain of knowing the cause and effect.

Solution 2

Make sure that 'Run > Skip all breakpoints' is not enabled.

Solution 3

there can be many many reasons:

The most common ones:

• .java and .class are out of sync
• wrong version of the runtime JVM
• debug information removed from the generated class
• classpath mismatch, for instance eclipse compiles into bin/ and your runtime picks up classes from classes/ (this assumes, you also compile from the command line)
• Bad Eclipse installation

First try cleaning the project by using the clean function

Project > clean...

Which means you need to make sure the breakpoints are compiled into your .class files.

Good answer. What would you recommend I do to fix?

Rebuild your project from sources. Validate compiler setting and paths

I love Project > Clean however after 5 times I am thinking my eclipse is dirty (If you know what I mean ;) )

Somehow this was the case for me. I don't recall turning that on. Any idea , what could have caused Skip all breakpoints selected?
