I am having this weird bug in eclipse when setting my breakpoints it just over lap it without passing through the breakpoint where the method is called. I know it keeps bypassing it for the reason that the only method that is being called is on a lot of breakpoints.

Did anyone encounter this kind of problem or know a fix?

Make sure that 'Run > Skip all breakpoints' is not enabled.

Somehow this was the case for me. I don't recall turning that on. Any idea , what could have caused Skip all breakpoints selected?
@SabirKhan In my case this most probably was just because accidentally hitting CTRL+ALT+B keyboard shortcut. Did not even know such existing. Never read the whole Eclipse manual :D

there can be many many reasons:

The most common ones:

  • .java and .class are out of sync
  • wrong version of the runtime JVM
  • debug information removed from the generated class
  • classpath mismatch, for instance eclipse compiles into bin/ and your runtime picks up classes from classes/ (this assumes, you also compile from the command line)
  • Bad Eclipse installation

First try cleaning the project by using the clean function

Project > clean...

Which means you need to make sure the breakpoints are compiled into your .class files.
Good answer. What would you recommend I do to fix?
Rebuild your project from sources. Validate compiler setting and paths
I love Project > Clean however after 5 times I am thinking my eclipse is dirty (If you know what I mean ;) )

Please check if you have any beans declared in xml file. If so please check if they are commented we need to uncomment them.

In my case i have a bean declaration in my xml file for that particular bean and it is not loaded at the time of server start. So my debug points are not enabled.

I have uncommented my bean entry then i am able to check debug points and it is working.

hope it will help.

Restarted eclipse and this time I was able to debug properly. Strange bug I am uncertain of knowing the cause and effect.
