Eclipse Debugging: Customized Breaktpoints Groups?

Hi and thank you for reading.

I use Eclipse Debugging mode to understand some components of a massive Framework. Now I have something like Workflow A and Workflow B. I have set breakpoints in workflow A and understood how it work. Then I have set breakpoints in workflow B, but would like the breakpoints in workflow A to be there but not be called, so I can use them again at a later point.

What I would like to have is a way to enable all breakpoints in workflow A or workflow B without removing the breakpoints. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,

evgeni

Solution

  • In the Breakpoint view menu (click the inverted triangle icon on the top right), look under the 'Group by' entry. You can use either breakpoint 'workingsets' and have a custom grouping or group by projects or files. Once you have a grouping enabling/disabling everything in a group becomes trivial.
