Breakpoints Panel
The Breakpoints Panel is a panel in the top-level Main Window.
The Breakpoints Panel displays a table of the currently set breakpoints.
A breakpoint can be set at a particular line number or at the entry of a method
of a class.
A breakpoint can also (optionally) belong to a breakpoint group.
Set breakpoints are annotated in the left margin of the corresponding
source files in the Source Panel. Breakpoints
can also be directly set in the Source Panel or
by the debugger's tool bar. Breakpoint events are
recorded in the Events Panel.
table
Each row of the table represents a breakpoint. Each breakpoint has the following
attributes (which are the columns of the table).
[Shift] Click on a column header to sort the table in
[descending] ascending order according to that column.
- ID - a unique integer breakpoint ID.
- Group - the name of the breakpoint group. Can be blank. Double click
on the cell in order to edit the group name. When you are finished editing the
group name, hit the Enter key.
- Class - the name of the class the breakpoint is set in.
A tool tip displays the full class name.
- Line/Method - If the breakpoint is set on a particular line, then the line
number is displayed in blue. If the breakpoint is set on a particular method, then
the method name is displayed in purple.
- Resolved - whether the breakpoint is currently resolved; that is,
the corresponding breakpoint class has been loaded by a class loader into the
target JVM, and the breakpoint has been successfully set.
The number before the "/" is the number of times the breakpoint has been
successfully resolved. The number after the "/" is the number of times the
breakpoint class has been loaded by a class loader. The table cell is displayed
in green, if all resolutions have been successful. The table cell is displayed
in red, if there has been at least one resolution error. The table cell is
displayed in orange (unresolved), if no corresponding breakpoint class has been
loaded in the target JVM.
A tool tip displays the class loader(s) that have loaded the breakpoint
class, and the corresponding source file and line number the breakpoint has been
resolved to. If there was an error during resolution, the tool tip displays the
corresponding error message in red.
- Enabled - Whether the breakpoint is currently enabled (checked) or
disabled (unchecked).
context menu
A popup Context Menu is displayed by right clicking on the table:
-
Show Source - shows in the Source Panel
the location of the breakpoint that is selected in the table.
This can also be accomplished by double clicking on a breakpoint row.
- Clear - clears the selected
(in the table) breakpoint. The row will be deleted from the table.
- Unsort - returns the table data to its default order.
- Columns... - displays a dialog in which the User can hide
or show individual columns of the breakpoints table.
- Help... - displays this Help.
See the Breakpoints Menu in the menu bar
to create a new breakpoint and for
menu items that operate on all (or a group) of the breakpoints.
