Debug Mode Won't Show Source for JSP [message #1731476]

I have a breakpoint set in a JSP file for a webapp In debug mode. When I press a button on the web page, Eclipse announces it is going into debug mode. The screen is blank except for text "Source not found." and a pushbutton "Edit Source Lookup Path.."

Pressing the button brings up a matching dialog prompting me to add a "source container" for source lookups. I press Add and select "Workspace Folder". I navigate and select the project folder hosting my JSP files. The "Search subfolders" checkbox is left in the default position (checked).

Good news: My JSP file appears on the screen.
Bad news: After 0.1 seconds it goes away!

Why is this happening to me?

Brad,

It's probably better to ask on the Web Tools forum.
