Hi support,

I recognized a problem while debugging an application. My apllication is deployed to jboss and the server is running in debug mode. I set multiple breakpoints that are hit time after time but MyEclipse Blue isn’t focused when a breakpoint is hit.
First I thought this is a missing configuration detail. But I looked up Window -> Preferences -> Run/Debug and the associated options “Activate the workbench when a breakpoint is hit”, “Active the debug view when a breakpoint is hit” are enabled. So is this a known bug?

Another issue I wanted to ask concerns the configuration of MyEclipse Blue. With the argmument “-configuration” I defined another path for the configuration then the installation directory. That works fine but as i recognized the configuration needs more and more space. At the moment my configuration needs 173MB. Is it possible to decrease this value?

Best regards,
sehlerding

sehlerding ,
What version of JBoss are you working with? I’ll file this for investigation.

This is a Windows feature, it doesn’t allow for applications to get ‘on top’ of other applications, although it’s not impossible, it’s not easy to achieve. This also manifests itself when running an application from it’s installer, the app is often ‘hiding’ behind Windows Explorer.
I assume that the MyEclipse taskbar button is flashing, and the Debug view is activated?

Hi,

thanks for you replies. We use JBoss Version 4.0.5.

@huisma13: Unfortunately none of the things you mentioned happen. Neither the tahskbar butten is flashing nor the debug view is activated. My Application is waiting with an hourglass showing. So the breakpoint was detected but MyEclipse isn’t flashed or focused.

greets,
sehlerding

Ton is correct, the behavior to have the window come to the top and steal focus is workbench-dependent. MyEclipse doesn’t augment this behavior so at the least it would be a bug in the platform at the most it wouldn’t be supported by the Eclipse platform or the window manager of the current OS won’t allow it to steal focus (e.g. Mac does this)
