JavaRebel - Eclipse & Debugging - Missing line numbers

[Adam Brundrett]

Have just downloaded JavaRebel after getting the mailshot from the ranch. If it can sort out my biggest annoyance with Eclipse...having to restart tomcat several times a day during development....I'll be happy.

But, I have a problem with debugging. Start from the Eclipse and I get the JavaRebel message in the console. I then add a breakpoint in MyClass.java. When the code executes I get an error pop-up from Eclipse when the breakpoint is hit saying:

"Unable to install breakpoint in path.to.class.MyClass$$A$736f0a9e due to missing line number attributes. Modify compiler options to generate line number attributes."

Click OK and I can step through the code with the debugger anyway. But, once the code has executed successfully, as soon as I touch the class the breakpoint was in and save (even just adding/removing a space) I get the "Hot Code Replaced Failed" popup.

I have the option to generate line numbers for debugging checked in the compiler properties in Eclipse.

Any ideas? Fully accept that I may just be a plank and haven't configured something correctly :-)

Eclipse 3.3.1 with MyEclipse 6.0.1
Tomcat 5.5
JDK 1.5

Hi Adam,

You can ignore the messages produced by Eclipse for such errors. Eclipse will get confused about the updates and you will even see the red little icons in the stack window but everything works fine.

See the FAQ for more details.

Thanks for the reply.
