Can I move the instruction pointer directly to a line of my choice (within the current method) while debugging a Java program in Eclipse (Galileo)?
I like ankon's answer best, but another option (that will only work for your specific instance -- if that) is to stop at a breakpoint on your if
and modify the variable(s) evaluated in the conditional such that it returns false (from the "Variables" view, right click on a variable and click "Change Value...")
