Debugging java

The built-in debugging features lets you keep track of the variable values (see figure below).



This tutorial will show you how to get started with debugging in the program.

The first thing to do is to open the variable value tracker window (see figure below). In this window you can specify which variables you want to track values for. The actual values of each of the variables that are being tracked are then listen in the Debug vars tab (see figure above) after the debugger is started.



To make the debugger stop at some point in the execution of the program, you can set breakpoints on some line (you have to do this before starting the debugger). After the program has stopped at a line, you can write commands in the debugger tab at the bottom of the main window (see figure below).



To make the debugger continue after a stop at a breakpoint, either write cont or step in the debugger tab or press the next instruction button .
