Re: How to stop at the crash source statement when debugging with Eclipse ?

Assume I have a java project in Eclipse and start to debug it.
The first stop is at main() function - ok. Then I hit F8 (=Resume)
and the program runs until an unknown crash statement.

The only information I got is the trace stack in the output window.
But what I want is that the statement pointer in the debug source window
jumps to exactly this (last) statement before the crash.
When I can achieve this I can peek e.g. into certain variable values.

Currently neither the statement exection pointer jumps to this critical statement
nor there is a statement pointer at all.

How do I get such a "jump-and-show-before-crash" in the source window ?

In Eclipse terms, you want an "exception breakpoint".

Under the "Run" menu, look for "Add Java Exception Breakpoint".

Also, search the documentation for "exception breakpoint".
