java debugger does not work in eclipse 2.1.2 [message #144786]

I am trying to debug my application using eclipse 2.1.2 on Windows2000. I
have JDK 1.3.1_10 installed on my m/c. When I set the code breakpoint in
my application and launch the debugger, I can see the execution being
stalled at the breakpoint but I cannot step through the execution. None of
the debug options in the "Run" menu are enabled. What could be the
problem? This happens even if I set the breakpoint at the very first line
of code in the main method. Let me know if anyone has the answers

Hi Shaligram,

I encountered what sounds like the same problem a few weeks ago and resolved
it (on advice from this ng) by selecting Window -> Show View -> Other -> and
selecting Debug from under the Debug section.

I'm not sure why this view wouldn't just open automatically if it has to be
open for debugging to work, but nonetheless, when it's open, debugging works
as expected for me.

Hope this helps if it turns out to be your problem as well.

We are working on improving this for 3.0

Alec,
that exactly was my problem. Thanks for your reply. The debugger got
working and its cool. It's just that the view doesn't appear automatically
and there is no document explaining this that creates confusion. Let's see
how they fix this in the new release.
