Debug View

The Debug View allows you to manage the debugging or running of a program in the workbench. It displays the stack frame for the suspended threads for each target you are debugging. Each thread in your program appears as a node in the tree. It displays the process for each target you are running.

If the thread is suspended, its stack frames are shown as child elements.

The Execution Control Commands allow you to debug your program, starting, stopping and stepping through the code.

Debug View Commands

Command	Name	Description	Availability
	Copy Stack	Copies the selected stack of suspended threads as well as the state of the running threads to the clipboard.	Context menu
	Disconnect	Disconnects the debugger from the selected debug target when debugging remotely.	Context menu and view action
	Drop to Frame	This command lets you drop back and reenter a specified stack frame. This feature is similar to "running backwards" and restarting your program part-way through. To drop back and reenter a specified stack frame, select the stack frame that you want to "drop" to, and select Drop to Frame. Some caveats apply to this feature: You cannot drop past a native method on the stack. Global data are unaffected and will retain their current values. For example, a static vector containing elements will not be cleared. Note: This command is only enabled if the underlying VM supports this feature.	Context menu and view action
	Edit [configuration name]...	Opens the launch configuration dialog on the associated launch configuration, allowing you to make changes.	Context menu
	Edit Step Filters	Opens the Step Filtering preference page to allowing editing of step filters	Context menu
	Edit Source Lookup	Opens the source lookup dialog, allowing you to make changes.	Context menu
	Filter Package	Adds the containing package for the type from the current suspended execution to the listing of step filters	Context menu
	Filter Type	Adds the type from the current suspended execution to the listing of step filters	Context menu
	Find...	Opens the debug view element searching dialog.	Context menu
	Lookup Source	Forces source lookup to take place	Context menu
	Open Declared Type	Opens the declared type for the selected stack frame in a new editor.	Context menu
	Open Declared Type Hierarchy	Opens the type hierarchy for the declared type of the selected stack frame.	Context menu
	Properties	This command displays the properties of the selected launch. It also allows you to view the full command line for a selected process.	Context menu
	Relaunch	This command relaunches the selected debug target.	Context menu
	Remove All Terminated Launches	Clears all terminated debug targets from the view display.	Context menu and view action
	Resume	Resumes a suspended thread.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Show Monitors	This option can be toggled to display or hide monitors. Note: this command will only display monitor information if the underlying VM supports it.	View action
	Show Qualified Names	This option can be toggled to display or hide qualified names.	View action
	Show System Threads	This option can be toggled to display or hide system threads	View action
	Show Thread Groups	This option can be toggled to display or hide thread groups	View action
	Step Into	Steps into the highlighted statement.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Step Over	Steps over the highlighted statement. Execution will continue at the next line either in the same method or (if you are at the end of a method) it will continue in the method from which the current method was called. The cursor jumps to the declaration of the method and selects this line.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Step Return	Steps out of the current method. This option stops execution after exiting the current method.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Suspend	Suspends the selected thread of a target so that you can browse or modify code, inspect data, step, and so on.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Terminate	Terminates the selected debug target.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
	Terminate/Disconnect All	Terminates all active launches in the view.	Context menu
	Terminate and Relaunch	Terminates the selected debug target and relaunches it.	Context menu
	Terminate and Remove	Terminates the selected debug target and removes it from the view.	Context menu
	Use Step Filters	Toggles step filters on/off. When on, all step functions apply step filters.	Context menu, Run menu and view action
