| Suspending threads |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| To suspend an executing thread: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select the thread in the Debug view. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Click the <strong><strong>Suspend</strong></strong> button in the Debug view toolbar. The thread suspends its execution. The current call stack for the thread is |
| displayed, and the current line of execution is highlighted in the editor in the Debug perspective. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| When a thread suspends, the top stack frame of the thread is automatically |
| selected. The Variables view shows the stack frame's variables and |
| their values. Complex variables can be further examined by expanding |
| them to show the values of their members. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When a thread is suspended and the cursor is hovered over a variable in the Java editor, the value of that variable is displayed. |
