is it possible to "go back" in java eclipse debugger like dragging the arrow in VS
JavaEclipseVisual StudioDebuggingJava Problem Overview
Is there an option to take the stack pointer - or arrow in the debugger, backward and change the current execution line, as in visual studio.
Today I am using a "workaround" of modifying the source file. this will take me to the beginning of a method, but sometimes it is just not good enough.
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
The feature is called 'Drop to frame' right click on any line in stack, choose 'Drop to frame' and you go back to selected method beginning. Check Eclipse help topic.
Solution 2 - Java
Sadly it is not possible to go back to a single line, the JVM does not support this. You can only jump to the start of the current function, as you propably know (Drop to frame).
Solution 3 - Java
It's not out of beta yet, but Chronon is a promising debugger that has a "step back" feature.
