Execute disabled in Display View [message #698429]

Hi, when i first got started with java and eclipse, the tutorials guided me through using the Display View as an "immediate window" to execute code snippets and expressions.

but now that i'm working on my own app, at some point along the way, the Execute button became disabled and i can't figure out why or how to get it back on. i've closed all of my projects, thinking maybe an open file with a syntax error could cause it, but that hasn't worked.

hope this is super simple given that i'm so new at Eclipse. thanks!

When the VM suspends a thread (due to hitting a breakpoint or stepping
through code), you can evaluate expressions in the context of a stack
frame. The Display view can only be used during that time.
