Breakpoints pane

The behavior of the Breakpoints pane changes depending on the platform running the program you are debugging. Select the appropriate platform:

 

Breakpoints pane

Use the Breakpoints pane to review the breakpoints you have set in your program. Initially, you are presented with a list of the types of breakpoints you have set in your program. Each item in this list can be expanded to show the breakpoints you have set in your program. When you click on a function, method, or line breakpoint in the list, the arrow in the prefix area of the Source pane indicates where in the source code the breakpoint is set. Deferred breakpoints cannot be seen in the Source pane.

The breakpoint entries in the list provide you with a summary of the breakpoints' properties. A pop-up menu selection allows you to view these properties in greater detail.

Pop-up menu options let you modify breakpoint properties, enable or disable breakpoints, and delete breakpoints.

To modify breakpoint properties for Java program objects and programs written in other languages, you must delete the existing breakpoint, then create a new breakpoint with the properties you want.
