Problem
I'm debugging a SpringSource application in Eclipse 3.5 that makes heavy use of AOP to wire up the components. If I want to step into a method of a class wired with AOP, I first have to step through around 20 layers of SpringSource wiring methods before reaching my own source code again. Is there a way to configure Eclipse to skip the layers to which it has no source and step directly to my method?
