<title>Breakpoint Suspend Policy</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Breakpoint Suspend Policy</h1>
<p>The <strong>Suspend Policy</strong> option is used to indicate what should be suspended when a breakpoint is hit. </p>
<p>There are two options for Java breakpoints:</p>
<ul>
<li>Suspend Thread - suspends only the thread that encountered the breakpoint</li>
<li>Suspend VM - suspends the entire VM when the breakpoint is encountered<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This option can be changed with the <a href="../../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-properties_contextaction.htm"><strong>Breakpoint Properties...</strong></a>, or by <a href="../../reference/views/breakpoints/ref-suspendpolicy_contextaction.htm">right-clicking</a> a breakpoint.</p>
<p><img src="images/ref-breakpoint_suspendpolicy.PNG" alt="Breakpoint suspend policy option"></p>
<p>You can also change the default setting for the suspend policy for all newly created breakpoints. </p>
<p>To do this go to the <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.JavaDebugPreferencePage)")'> <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Opens the Java Debug preference page"> <strong>Java &gt;Debug</strong></a> preference page and change it there. </p>
