Eclipse doesn't stop at breakpoints

Question

Eclipse 3.5.2 is not stopping in breakpoints. It\'s as if the debugger is using an older version of the source file.

Tried the usual refresh, clean all projects, bui

Answer 1

1. Go to (eclipse-workspace)\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core and delete all tmp folders.
2. Clean and Restart server.

Answer 2

Facing same problem with Eclipse Luna. Project clean didn't work. Rebuild didn't work.

What makes it work is uninstall the app on the device before each debugging.

Answer 3

Perhaps you have pushed the Skip all Breakpoints button in the Breakpoints view.

Answer 4

Thanks guys, this really saved my day too. I antecedently pressed on skip break points, if you did the same this will result on break point appearing with a backslash icon on them.

To bring it back to normal:

1. Switch to Debug perspective.
2. press on the breakpoints view tap -->> upper right hand corner of the screen, you also can go there by Window->show view-> breakpoints.
3. 5th icon from the left you will see break point with backslash. press on that one.

To confirm, try putting break point on any line, and it should appear normally.

Answer 5

Clearing all Breakpoints fixed the issue (within debugger perspective: Window -> Remove All Breakpoints).

Rebuilding the project did not work for me.

Answer 6

It has also happened to me, in my case it was due to the GDB launcher, which I needed to turn to "Legacy Create Process Launcher". To do so,

• either change the default launchers to the "Legacy Create Process Launcher", in Windows>Preferences>Run/Debug>Launching>Default Launchers.

• or choose this launcher in the debug configuration of your application (Run>Debug configurations>choose your debug configuration). Under the "main" tab at the bottom, click on "Select other...", check the box "Use configuration specific settings" and choose "Legacy Create Process Launcher".
