  • Java launch configurations have been moved from the UI plug-in (org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui) to the "headless" launching plug-in (org.eclipse.jdt.launching). This facilitates headless, programmatic launching. This is a breaking API change. As well, pre-existing launch configurations are deleted on workbench startup, as they are incompatible with the chages made.
  • Java Exception breakpoints can be scoped. Package, type and limited regular expressions can be set as the scope for the breakpoint. The breakpoint is only "hit" if the exception is generated from one of these locations. Can be set off of the properties dialog for the breakpoint.

    What's new in this drop

  • Java breakpoint creation has changed to not require the use of Java elements. Unfortunately, the resulting changes invalidates breakpoints created previous to this build. The out of date breakpoints will be deleted at startup. See 7807: Breakpoint creation API should not use java elements
    • .
  • HotSwap enhancement - when performing a hot swap, the debugger only pops frames of methods that have been changed.

    • The debugger suspends execution when an uncaught exception is thrown. Can be configured using the Java Debug Options preference page. @see 5653 for details and on step filtering settings migration.
    • Stack frames, threads, and debug targets will now display when code in the VM is out of synch with the code in the workspace. This can occur when a hot code replace fails or when a hot code replace succeeds but the VM is unable to pop old stack frames from the call stack. @see 1558 for details.
    • Stepping performance improvement. By increasing the amount of data cached in our stack frame model, stepping is now dramatically faster in many cases.
