Eclipse provides a very nice debugging environment. One of the features I use often
is conditional breakpoints. It is essentially breakpoints which suspend code execution
only when a specified condition is satisfied. For example you want to set a breakpoint
inside a loop but only are interested when a certain variable is null. To specify
a condition select 'Breakpoint Properties…' in the context menu of
the breakpoint.
Then check the 'Enable Condition' and type away the condition in
the text area below. The text area also provides code assistance.There is an option
to suspend when the expression evaluates to true or when the value changes.
