Okay, I'm trying to figure out how LimeWire works. It's open source, so I just checked out its source code to my local Eclipse and built it. I run it, and it appears to run just fine; I can use it to download files and they get downloaded successfully.
When I run LimeWire, either directly or in the debugger, the GUI comes up with a text field on the top with the grayed out word "Search...", and immediately to its right is a green button with a sort of a Q-shaped icon on it, and when I move the cursor over it I get the tip "Search P2P Network".
Now when I do a recursive search on all the "*.java" files in my workspace, there's only one file that has "Search P2P Network" in it, and that's "SearchBar.java". I set breakpoints to the left of the three places where "P2P" is mentioned in that file, <searchButton.setToolTipText(I18n.tr("Search P2P Network"));>, <searchButton.setToolTipText(I18n.tr("Search P2P Network and Friends"));>, and another <searchButton.setToolTipText(I18n.tr("Search P2P Network"));>.
Then I run LimeWire in debug mode. It brings up the GUI with the mentioned text field and the mentioned green button, but it _never stops at any_ of those three breakpoints. Can anyone explain how this can be happening? Doesn't the code _have_ to stop at one of those <setToolTipText()>s in order for that green button to have that tool tip? I'm at a loss here. I need to figure out why it's doing this, and I haven't got a clue. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
