How can I skip JRE code when debugging in Eclipse?

Question

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

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


        

Answer 1

You can add types built on the fly, or types that you have dificulty to find going to:

Debug Window

Right click on desired class, click on Filter Type:

In next time your Step Filter will skip this type.

Answer 2

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.
