First, set a breakpoint at a given location. Then, use the context menu on the breakpoint in the left editor margin or in the Breakpoints view in the Debug perspective, and select the breakpoint’s properties. In the dialog box, check Enable Condition, and enter an arbitrary Java condition, such as list.
To set a conditional breakpoint, activate the context menu in the source pane, on the line where you want the breakpoint, and select “Add Conditional Breakpoint”. You'll then see a textbox where you can enter the expression. Press Return to finish.
Conditional breakpoints allow you to break inside a code block when a defined expression evaluates to true. Conditional breakpoints highlight as orange instead of blue. Add a conditional breakpoint by right clicking a line number, selecting Add Conditional Breakpoint , and entering an expression.
Put your breakpoint. Right-click the breakpoint image on the margin and choose Breakpoint Properties:
Configure condition as you see fit:
Make a normal breakpoint on the doIt(tablist[i]); line
Right-click -> Properties
Check 'Conditional'
Enter tablist[i].equalsIgnoreCase("LEADDELEGATES")
1. Create a class
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String s[] = {"app","amm","abb","akk","all"};
doForAllTabs(s);
}
public static void doForAllTabs(String[] tablist){
for(int i = 0; i<tablist.length;i++){
System.out.println(tablist[i]);
}
}
}
2. Right click on left side of System.out.println(tablist[i]); in Eclipse --> select Toggle Breakpoint
3. Right click on toggle point --> select Breakpoint properties
4. Check the Conditional Check Box --> write tablist[i].equalsIgnoreCase("amm") in text field --> Click on OK
5. Right click on class --> Debug As --> Java Application
From Eclipsepedia on how to set a conditional breakpoint:
First, set a breakpoint at a given location. Then, use the context menu on the breakpoint in the left editor margin or in the Breakpoints view in the Debug perspective, and select the breakpoint’s properties. In the dialog box, check Enable Condition, and enter an arbitrary Java condition, such as
list.size()==0. Now, each time the breakpoint is reached, the expression is evaluated in the context of the breakpoint execution, and the breakpoint is either ignored or honored, depending on the outcome of the expression.Conditions can also be expressed in terms of other breakpoint attributes, such as hit count.
