Any tricks to get the debugger to work?

We do a fair amount of programming on a Mac. I don’t know about others, but we’ve found that occasionally, the debugging engine will stop responding… so if we’re trying to debug a method and we slap down a breakpoint, the debugger doesn’t fire up when we try it… the method just runs as if everything were normal.

Currently to restore this functionality, we have to quit out of Eclipse and relaunch.

Are there any tricks that help restore this functionality without doing such a time consuming workaround?

Thanks.

Same thing occasionally happens in Windows.

what do you see in the debug view?
Do you see there a live connection (displayed as a tree in the view?)

Or does it say “terminated” or something like that?

What you could do is really terminate or remove all terminated processes and then press the launch client button again. This will make then a new debug connection.
