Eclipse pausing without a breakpoint

Question

While debugging my project in Eclipse, it will (repeatably, at the same point in the code) pause execution as if it\'s reached a breakpoint. No exceptions are thrown, the p

Answer 1

Create a fresh workspace and import your project to this newly created workspace. The problem should be gone, especially if the problem was caused by corrupt workspace metadata.

Answer 2

The Eclipse debugger pauses if the code throws an exception - at least it does for me (maybe this can be toggled). Just un-pause the thread and you'll most likely see a stacktrace being printed to STDERR.

Answer 3

it could also be waiting for user input, or a particular action to take place so it can continue.

Answer 4

I had the same problem I apparently had some hidden breakpoints, setting a new one then clearing all break points solved the issue for me.

Answer 5

Try Remove all breakpoints from the Breakpoints view (hidden by default, Window > Show view > Other... > Debug > Breakpoints).

This solved it for me.

Answer 6

Your code and the binaries that you are debugging are not in sync.
Try creating a break point and then getting rid of all breakpoints and see if it still happens.
