I used to debug code with Eclipse, but I can't anymore with Eclipse Oxygen. Existing marketplace decompilers don't work; each one shows different breakopint lines, and debugging has become impossible. I think is because of Java 8. But this is really annoying and is affecting productivity.

I can't recommend regarding decompilers, I only debug code of which I have the source code (as a source attachment, when speaking of libraries) and thus I don't need a decompiler.
Are you sure you need one?
If so, you should probably report your issues to the team maintaining the decompiler you are using.

OTOH, as a last resort you can always set Method Breakpoints (entry or exit). Those work independent of any line numbers.
Just be aware that the existence of Method Breakpoints may slow down the JVM during debugging :(

HTH,
Stephan
