Eclipse "Set Next Statement"

Question

Is there a way to jump to a line of code in Eclipse for Java? It would be useful for re-running a function to debug. Something like Visual Studio's "Set Next Statement" or the draggable yellow arrow?

Answer 1

When in the debugger select a place in the stack, right click, and select "Drop to Frame". This will unwind the call stack. You can do this on the current method (top of the call stack) to unwind to the top of the method. This doesn't work all the time for various reasons but you can do it pretty often.

Answer 2

This feature does not exist even conceptually in the JVM Tools Interface, much less in the Java Debug Wire Protocol that IDEs tend to interface with. Implementing it in an IDE would require creating (and mantaining) a custom build of Hotspot/JRockit/etc itself.
