Doubleclick doesn't set a breakpoint [message #333373]

Hello,

currently Eclipse (I use version 3.2.2) doesn't set a breakpoint for
debugging when I doubleclick at the left border of the code editor within a
method. Some weeks ago it still worked. I have no idea, what may have
happened and changed, that on doubleclick Eclipse doesn't set the breakpoint
anymore. Fortunately I can still set the breakpoint by the context function
Toggle Breakpoint.

What may be the reason, that Eclipse doesn't set a breakpoint after a
doubleclick?
How to resolve the problem?

I'd suggest using a more recent version personally...

Does Ctrl+Shift+B work? Personally, I use that instead of clicking on
the border.

Sometimes Eclipse seems to get confused (or at least I get confused)
when the linkage between binary and source gets messed up - for
instance, if the same source file exists in two different projects, or
if a type is coming from a .jar file rather than from the compiled
output of the project containing the source file you're looking at.

Is it possible that you added a jar file, containing the type in
question, to the classpath?

First I'd recommend upgrading to the latest version. You might be
running into this bug, which has been fixed:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/239317 (you'd see the NPE in your Error Log, if
that is the problem).

Hope this helps,
Eric
