Breakpoints view

The Breakpoints view shows a list of all available breakpoints and their state (enabled, disabled, resolved, and invalidated).

In this view, you can perform these actions:

  • Double-click a breakpoint, or use the Go to File command, to display its location in the Script Editor.
  • Enable or disable breakpoints.
  • View or modify the properties of a breakpoint.
  • Delete breakpoints.
Note: You cannot add new breakpoints in this view. New breakpoints are added via the Script Editor and via the Outline view.

For information on adding breakpoints, see Using breakpoints.

Toolbar

The toolbar of the Breakpoints view contains these buttons:

Show Breakpoints Supported by Selected Target

When you use multiple programming languages within the Eclipse workbench such as Infor 4GL and Java, you can define different types of breakpoints per language.

If this option is toggled on, only breakpoints applicable to the selected debug target are displayed, such as the following:

  • You debug an LN session, only the LN specific breakpoints are displayed.
  • You debug a Java program, only the Java specific breakpoints are displayed.
Go to File for Breakpoint Displays the source code and the line associated with the selected breakpoint in the Editor area. Double-clicking a breakpoint has the same effect.
Skip All Breakpoints Disables all breakpoints.
Link with Debug View When this option is toggled on, the breakpoints hit by the debugger are automatically highlighted in the Breakpoints view.
Add Java Exception Breakpoint Starts the Add Java Exception Breakpoint dialog box. See the online help of the dialog box.
