Is there a way to make Eclipse break on uncaught exceptions while in debug mode for jUnit? Eclipse breaks fine when executing main(). Is there a command-line switch I can use?
Thanks

To set a breakpoint, Right-click and choose Toggle breakpoint. To Debug the JUnit Test, use the below option: Right Click >> Debug As >> Junit Test.
You can fix this immediately by opening the Markers view and delete the Java Exception Breakpoints. However, to permanently remove this type of breakpoints, you have to go to the Java Debug options and uncheck the "Suspend excecution on uncaught exceptions" option.
To define a breakpoint in your source code, right-click in the left margin in the Java editor and select Toggle Breakpoint. Alternatively, you can double-click on this position. The Breakpoints view allows you to delete and deactivate Breakpoints and modify their properties.
From the debug perspective you can filter exactly which exceptions you are interested in.
In the Breakpoints view there is a "J!" button. This opens a window that allows you to choose which exceptions you want to break on.
If the problem only occurs when JUnit tests you need to make sure you are launching the tests in debug mode. The Rerun button in the JUnit will run in "normal" mode. To run the tests in debug you can right click on the file and select "Debug as -> JUnit Test" from the menu.

If you run in debug mode, this should be the default behaviour of later versions of Eclipse.
