| <h1>Breakpoints</h1> |
| |
| <p>A breakpoint suspends the execution of a program at the location where the breakpoint is set.</p> |
| |
| <p>Breakpoints can be enabled and disabled via the context menu in the Breakpoints view.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>When a breakpoint is enabled, it will cause a thread to suspend whenever |
| the breakpoint is reached. Enabled breakpoints are indicated with a blue circle and |
| are shown with a checkmark overlay once successfully installed. A breakpoint can only |
| be installed when the class the breakpoint is located in has been loaded in the VM.</li> |
| |
| <li>When a breakpoint is disabled, it will not cause threads to suspend. Disabled breakpoints are indicated with a white circle.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Breakpoints are displayed in the vertical editor ruler and in the Breakpoints view.</p> |
