Answer 1

Spot on, still relevant in 2015 with latest Eclipse too. Make sure to keep the check-box under green highlight circle to be unchecked. I am adding image to highlight the change

Answer 2

In debug mode in eclipse by default, break on uncaught exceptions is checked. Since you don't have a catch method here, it's likely that an uncaught exception is being thrown and the debugger is breaking for you immediately before the exception is thrown. You can turn it off in preferences under Java->Debug.
