Netbeans has a nice "Step Into" feature where if there are multiple method calls on the same line, you can use the arrow keys to choose which one you meant. You can see a screenshot and description on this new and noteworthy page.

F11/Shift+F11 ⮕ Step into/out This shortcut is to step into the breakpoint or step out of it. It starts the execution or ends the execution of the current breakpoint.
Eclipse had it for ages. While debugger is stopped on a break point, put cursor on a method you want to step into and then use Run menu / Step Into Selection (Ctrl-F5) or just Ctrl+Alt-Click on that method in the editor.
