How can I skip JRE code when debugging in Eclipse?

When debugging in Eclipse, I step into (F5) a statement such as the following,

encryptedBytes = LightWeightEncryptor.encrypt(messageBytes, password.toCharArray()

Try Eclipse menu : Window -> Preferences -> Java|Debug|Step Filtering.

Toggle "Use Step Filters", you may choose the step filters from the checkbox list.

E.g. check "java.*", then the JRE method String.xxx() will be skipped.
