I have had recently a very strange problem with eclipse: Suddenly , from nowhere, I was not able any more to set break points in my project.
I have tried after this my Eclipse with other projects and the same happened.
I have checked in all forums and I have tried all the clues given.
So, I decided to re-install Eclipse. I have tried either with Kepler version or Ganymede version. The same has happened.
I re-installed Eclipse again and instead of testing with my project, created a new one with a HelloWorld class. I was able to set the breakpoints. I Decided to create a new project with my files, in another work place. I was not any more able to set breakpoints. I came back to the HelloWord class and the break point was not setting anymore.
Then I decided to reinstall Eclipse, recreate my project, adding one by one all the files. And, surprise, when I have added a jar file, Eclipse stopped to recognize break points!
So, I discovered that Eclipse was affected by a jar file regarding to simple break point setting.
To solve my problem, I only need to take out that particular jar file.

There is no question mark in this post.

There is no question mark in the thread, but I believe that is because Edgar doesn't speak English and didn't think about the importance of the question mark. The question he is asking is if taking out that particular jar file will solve his problem and allow him to again use break points within Eclipse. I have had the same problem and hunted high and low for an answer. This is the problem with technology and programming. One small tiny piece of code, or even just a period can be enough to derail the entire project and make everything work poorly. I am curious if I have the same problem and if finding the same jar file will help me, as well.

Simplifying: (I hope you can understand my English).

Eclipse has been not allowed anymore to set any break point, in any project, after I have incorporated in the work-space my project.

I have discovered that a jar file, of my project, which had probably a class with the same name did all this damage. I have needed to start my project with no jar files, and put every jar file, step by step, in the project until I had the same problem again.

I am sure that I needed to restart Eclipse after taking out the particular jar file. Simply taking out it was not enough.
