How to skip a statement in Eclipse during debugging
debugging, eclipse
Solution
If you are debugging, you can comment out the line you want to skip and then recompile, which will hotswap the code and keep you within the method you are currently in, allowing you to skip the line.
Depending on what you want to have happen, you could simply execute the line after the one you want to skip, select the code and choose Display from the r-click menu. This will execute the selected code and provide the result in a popup.
Problem
Is it possible to skip a statement in Eclipse while debugging? Suppose the process stopped at breakpoint and I want to skip the breakpoint line ( or maybe a few lines below), can I do it? On the debug tab, it only has "Step into", "Step over" and "Step return" buttons. I did google around but couldn't find anything, hopefully I can find an answer here.
