Eclipse debug view current line

Question

Let's say I have 20 classes open and I am debugging the app.

I step the debugger thro its breakpoints. At a certain line, I get distracted and started scrolling thro the current source (which is like 2000 lines long). Then I started wading thro the other 19 source files.

After ten minutes wading, I wish to return to the current debug line. I had even forgotten what class it was. What is the best way? Here are my worst practices:

• click on the step into icon and then step out
• click on the step over hoping I don't miss out on anything important.
• Search for the highlighted line in the long stack of debug trace. Fiddle around to change display to high contrast and then change it back when I locate the line.

All the above is not good practice. If I am not wrong, when I used Visual Studio writing C#, we had a button that brought us right back to the current debug line.

Is there such a button in Eclipse? Why not? If not, has someone a plugin to do that?

Do you have an alternative convenient practice? A plugin would be great.

Answer 1

Clicking on the top item in the debug trace will do exactly what you want.
