Eclipse conditional debug

Question

I\'m wondering if there is a way to add a conditional break point in eclipse while debuging. Sample: if city==\"New York\" then break.

Answer 1

Yes. Right-click on the breakpoint, select "Breakpoint properties", enable "Conditional" and then enter the condition. Note that city == "New York" wouldn't be a good condition due to the way equality works in Java, but "New York".equals(city) would be fine. Note that Eclipse allows simple Boolean conditions like this, and also "suspend when value changes".

Answer 2

Open the context menu over a break point on the left bar of the code editor, select "Breakppoint properties..." and "Enable condition"
