"Eclipse debugger will use less precise source lookup" message [message #1865055]

Whenever I start debug session I am getting this message:

Quote:

JRE Oracle Corporation/22 is not supported, advanced source lookup disabled.
Eclipse debugger will use less precise source lookup implementation for this debug session, but everything else will continue to work otherwise.
Upgrading Eclipse to the latest version will likely make this warning go away.

I do have the latest Eclipse version (Version: 2024-03 4.31).

Can anyone shed some light on this issue ?.

Thanks in advance.

The release dates of Java are normally after the newest Eclipse IDE release. Support for Java 22 could not make it to Eclipse 2024-03 because Eclipse 2024-03 was released on 2024-03-13 and Java 22 was released on 2024-03-19.

Therefore, if you really need Java 22 support, you will have to install the patch for that from the marketplace ( https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-22-support-eclipse-2024-03-431 ). Note that the patch will be removed later when Eclipse IDE 2024-06 is released. Removed in this case means that the patch will no longer be available on update sites. This can be a problem if you need to to revert to an earlier configuration of Eclipse. Configurations that contain the patch will no longer be useful because you cannot change to those configurations. Those configurations would require the patch which is no longer available at that point.

Thanks for the response.
I install the patch first thing after I install java 22.
I could not create version 22 compliance projects without it.

Then you will likely have to wait for Eclipse 2024-06.

I suppose you could try development builds for Eclipse 2024-06 if you're willing to take the risk. They are available from the download page.

That is a good idea, thanks.
I have done this before.
Worth a try, I can see that there is 4.32M1 out there.
I can create a new install just to test this problem.
Now day's I use the SDK anyway (e.g. eclipse-SDK-4.31-win32-x86_64.zip) and add to it what I really use.

eclipse-SDK-4.32M1-win32-x86_64.zip seems to solve the problem.
