eclipse can't remove certain breakpoints

Question

Double-clicking in the blue bar on the left of eclipse sets a breakpoint. Double-clicking again removes the breakpoint. This works great for me but if I use git to checkout a different branch, often times the blue dots for breakpoints get "confused" or something. I can no longer double-click to unset them. I am forced to go into debug perspective, and find the breakpoint in the "breakpoints" view and then right click and remove. Does anybody have an easier solution for this? I am coding in java on windows 7 for what it's worth.

I can reproduce this bug with this code (assume the if is line 1):

if(bool)
{
  // comment
  doSomething();
} else {
  doOther();
}

I breakpoint on line 4 - doSomething(). Then I put a new line above the if to shift everything down. (moving the breakpoint on line 5). Then I do git stash save. When I click back to eclipse, the blue dot is displayed on the correct line, but the breakpoint window still says line 5. If I double click to disable, it actually adds a second breakpoint on line 4.

I feel like I should report this to the Eclipse guys.

Answer 1

open debug perspective [right conrer]

go to breakpoints

click clear all breakpoints [double X] or scroll until you find the breakpoint which doesn't want to go away and delete it.
