how to stop eclipse breaking at every caught exception when running in debug

Question

when I start debugging a java project, eclipse keep on breaking at random exceptions in 3rd party libraries, and it's so annoying. any idea how to stop this?

I tried clicking on the (!) icon on the Breakpoints view, I can see that both "Suspend on caught exceptions" and "Suspend on uncaught exceptions" checkboxes are not checked.. still eclipse breaks on the exception.

Although I'm not sure I'm using this window correctly, am I meant to select the exceptions one by one? or is there a way to specify all exceptions?

Kind Regards

I had a similar issue with Eclipse stopping on uncaught exceptions and resolved it by going to Window - Preferences - Java - Debug and unchecking "Suspend execution on uncaught exceptions".
