System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() like using java?

Question

Is there a method to signal a breakpoint in Java like System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() in C#?

Answer 1

yes I wanted something like this, so I implemented a pretty simple solution from my C days. This may be useful if you want a lightweight answer.

  public class DebugHelper   {         public static breakHere()        {             int i = 0;  //  Set breakpoint on this line in your IDE        }   } 

To use this method. Put a breakpoint in your code on the "int i = 0;" line. And call that method in the code you are debugging. It is a quick answer to getting some dynamic debugging and faster than a watch on a variable.

Example ...

 private something(...)  {        for( ... )        {           if( null == value ) DebugHelper.breakHere();        }  } 

Of course in C, you can put the right ASM breakpoint instruction ;-) This works fine for me on the rare occasions I want something like this.
