Hi

My eclipse doesn't allow me to debug anything - neiter applications nor
applets.
I can set breakpoints and start the debugger. The process does stop
somewhere 'round the breakpoint but nothing happens. In the run menu all
debugging related entries are grayed out, keyboard shorcuts are not working
and all I can do is terminate the process. If I want to debug an applet
using the default applet viewer (com.sun.AppletViewer) I have to kill the
java process on OS level to get back to eclipse!

Any ideas?

Marcel

Marcel,

Which build/os/vm are you using? We had problems in the debugger in
older builds. Also, are you using the debug button to debug (rather
than the run button)?

This would be eclipse 2.1.0 (build 200303272130) with JDK 1.4.0 on
Windows2000 SP3. I use the menu saying 'Debug as' [Application|Applet].
Your question irritates me... why would I use the run button to debug?

Jed was not trying to irritate you. Many people have made this mistake in
the past.

I would recommend moving to at least a 1.4.1 VM

This would make it look like a JVM problem... 1.4.0 with JBuilder works
fine.
Maybe I should try eclipse 3.0 M1.

Can it be worse? An IDE that doesn't allow me to debug my code is useless.
It looks like there are no ideas as to how to make eclipse 2.1 run with JVM
1.4.1 on my system...

Marcel,

Sorry, didn't mean to insult you :).

Another question is, does you application use RMI? I know JBuilder has
used the -classic VM argument in the past, and this helps their ability
to debug RMI applications. Try using the -classic flag.

And yes, if -classic makes it work, it is probably a VM issue. We have
seen a number of debug bugs with the 1.4.0 VM.

No I don't. I can't even debug HelloWorld....

Oh, gosh, Marcel, I must be asleep at the switch. I had lots of debug
problems with JDK 1.4.0. I think everyone did. Use the latest version of
1.4.1. (Maybe JBuilder debug works with 1.4.0, but Eclipse debug never did
for me.)

I have the same exact problem that Marcel has. I've tried updating the
jdk to 1.4.1 but the problem still persists. For the record I'm running
on win-xp with version 2.1.0 of eclipse.

The strange thing is I can remember debugging working correctly when I
first got eclipse, but ever since i've created the project i'm currently
working on now debugging doesn't work on any projects.

A bug report with all the details is the only way we are going to track this
down.

Obviously we (the committers etc.) are not seeing the problem as we develop
and debug on Eclipse everyday.
I spent last week testing the 2.1.1 build by developing and debugging
Eclipse on 1.4.* VMs

Sorry I can't be more help
