Eclipse Debug Problem

[Thorsten Hapke]

I installed eclipse 2.1 and all looks fine: My projects are imported and compiled. The applications produce the expected results, but I can not debug the files.
When I start "Debug...", do the configuration and push Debug I get the information that a free socket was found and the workplace changes to the debug environment. I see the console with the title: "TestJava at localhost: 1234" that's it. It either stops at my breakpoints nor runs through without breakpoints.
I am rather desparate. Thanks for any help.

Some things to try:
- Make sure you have a current JDK (not JRE) 1.4.1 or higher
- Make sure you have the full Eclipse 2.1 SDK (not the smaller Runtime version)
- Instead of creating a custom launch configuration, delete the one you made, then select your project, and then select Run > Debug As > Java application. This will give you all the default options which should be ok.
- Look at Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs and verify that the JDK you expect is the one selected (if not, fix it).
HTH.

HTH.

Thanx. I downloaded a newer release and works fine. Great.
