Hello community,

I am a beginner in Java and eclipse, but I have download from sourceforge a java opensource application.
Now in this application a window with a error code occured.

How can I find the position in the source code, where this window is displayed?

Thank you!
Michael

Two main strategies for this kind of task:
- searching & browsing & reading the source code
- debugging

JDT provides tool support for both strategies. Here in this forum you may receive advice if any tool function (e.g., Call Hierarchy) doesn't produce the desired result, but we cannot teach you the craft of understanding 3rd party source code.

The code is very very big.

So I must add a breakpoint to debugging, but I don't know, where I must set the breakpoint.
Can I find out in which line of code the error-window is generated?

For me debugging is a very difficult task. For few people it comes naturally to them or didn't find it difficult to debug. I searched online for many tutorial but I take lots of time to debug a simple few lines of code. For more information visit hjmt.com.
