Hi,
When debugging a web application I start Tomcat 5 using the start/stop server “running man” tool when in the “Java perspective”. When a breakpoint is hit I have to manually switch into “debug perspective”.

How do I stop (My)Eclipse switching back to “Java perspective” when I hit continue. Everytime a bp is hit I have to manually switch back into “debug perspective” to see variables and other interesting runtime information. Can I lock it in debug perspective?

Eclipse Platform : Version: 3.1.0, Build id: I20050513-1415
MyEclipse : (shame I can’t copy/paste the Version details!) Version: 3.8.4+QF2-BetaFor3.1M7, Build Id: 200505151200-3.8.4+QF2-BetaFor3.1M7
Tomcat: 5.5.9
JDK: build 1.5.0-rc-b63
WinXP:SP2

Regards,
Steve

Steve,

This sounds like you answered ‘yes, never prompt me again’ to one of those dialogs about when Eclipse should switch perspectives. To reset everything, use Window > Preferences > General > Perspectives > Restore Defaults. That should do the trick.
