Re: Debugging in Eclipse: How-to "Step-into only if source available" ?

When I debug a java source with Eclipse I press occasionally F5 multiple times to get to a certain position.
Sometimes this is a problem when I come to a System.out.println or File() or other built-in java class.
In this case Eclipse searches for the source which is not available.

What I am searching now is a setting/option which I can switch on with the meaning:

"Step-into if source is available otherwise step-over and don't bother me with unavailable source messages"

How do I do this ?

I don't know of any such feature. However, there is a "step out of" button which allows you to skip everything until the first statement that lies in the parent of the method you're currently in. So if you accidentally step into System.out.println, for example, you can step out of it to return back to "normal" source code.
