Hi I am having problems using Eclipse’s debugger.. everything was going
great until all of the sudden anytime I debug now, on the variables view
all I see is the current object (THIS) and then when I’m inside methods it
only shows the arguments passed in (ie arg0, arg1, arg2), it doesnt show
any of local declarations at all. This has suddenlly occurred in both
static and non static methods. I had this happen once before when I was
tracking through some JDK classes it was doing the same thing… any ideas?

Just so you know what I’m using, its Eclipse 3.0 with MyEclipse 3.8
Beta-2, debugging some classes running in a Tomcat 5.0.24 container that is
attached through the remote debugger. OS is WinXP SP1, on JDK 1.4.2-b28

Any help is greatly appreciated.

David,

That can happen when you’re looking at class files that weren’t compiled with debugging turned on. Did you use our deployer, or your own method? If you used your own (I’ll assume Ant), did you configure Ant to enable debugging on compilation? I believe the default is non-debug code.

Scott you were right on the money.. apparently one of my workspace crashes messed up all the settings of the compiler in preferences.. went in and fixed all that and it works again.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am experiencing the same problem with Eclipse 3.0.1 “standalone”, i.e. I am not using any plugins or stuff. It’s exactly the same: I can see “this” and the method’s arguments in the form of arg0, arg1, arg2 and so on, but no local declarations. This is really annoying as neither a new “installation” of Eclipse nor a new workspace setup solves the problem.

Has anybody got any hint what to do?

Thanks & regards,
Christian
