Remote Debugger Wrong Line [message #1299101]

I am attempting to remote debug some Java code. I have added a new method in the class and when the debugger stops on a break point within the new method it appears that it is stopping in the original file(Old code). I have grabbed the latest version of Eclipse:

Version: Kepler Service Release 2
Build id: 20140224-0627

I have created a new workspace and project with no luck. I have cleaned the project both manually and through the tool. Please help????

I have always debugged locally. The only thing that makes sense is that I will need to deploy any new code to the server. Is this correct? It defeats the purpose of using the debugger for me in this instance.

The code that you are debugging has to be deployed to the remote system where the VM is running. The debugger doesn't run code, it interacts with the VM that is actually running the code. If the code isn't available to the remote VM, it has no way to execute it and you can't debug it.

Thank you David for the response. I knew it had to be a simple answer. I was hoping there would be some type of code injection when debugging but it looks like it back to coding in a text editor Smile

I'm not sure why this limits you to coding in a text editor. In either case, the code needs to be made accessible to the VM that actually runs the code. Getting the code to the remote system shouldn't be a major issue especially if you use the Remote System tools provided by the Eclipse Target Management project.

Sorry, I was just joking. Bad humor. I actually love Eclipse. I worked for IBM for a decade and it was the main Java development tool used at the time. I'm not sure what they use now...

I will do some research on the tools or functionality you mentioned. Thx again for the help.
