Setting Java Exception Breakpoints
To set a breakpoint when an exception occurs, complete the following steps:
1. Select the Exceptions tab on the Breakpoint toolbar.
2. Click Add and select one or more exceptions from the list.
3. Click OK.
Once an exception breakpoint is added, double-click on it to display the exception properties dialog. This
dialog allows you to specify an expression, number of times to skip before stopping, and a specific thread.
Generate Debug
This feature supports C#, C++, Java, and Slick-C®. Place the cursor on a function name, then click Tools
> Generate Debug to generate a statement that dumps the name of the current function and the value of
the parameter(s) passed in. Place the cursor on a variable name, then click Tools > Generate Debug to
generate a statement that dumps the contents of that variable. The results are as follows:
• In C#, this will generate a System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine() statement.
• In C++, this will generate a printf statement.
• In Java, this will generate a System.out.println statement.
• In Slick-C, this will generate a say statement.
Viewing Debugger Info and Setting Options
To view the properties of the underlying debugger system, including a general description retrieved from
the debugger, version number, run-time version, and debugger name, make sure you’re in debug mode,
then from the main menu, click Debug > Debugger Information (or use the debug_props command).
