Why Eclipse Debugger always breaks / suspends on FileNotFoundException ? (Even without no breakpoint mentioned)

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Few days back, i encountered a vague problem on Eclipse IDE.

Eclipse is a IDE (Integrated Development Environment). I use it to code Java. Suddenly, Eclipse Debugger started breaking / suspending at FileNotFoundException.

When i looked at the stack-trace, It was breaking in some internal Java classes. I didn’t put a breakpoint, but still Eclipse debugger was suspending / breaking at FileNotFound Exception.

After wasting lot of time, I found out the solution to “Eclipse Debugger always breaking / suspending on FileNotFoundException”.

Resolve Eclipse Debugger always breaking at FileNotFoundException

Under menu, go to Window -> Preferences
On the left side, Expand Java and select Debug
You will see lots of options on the right side. Now Uncheck the option – “Suspend execution on uncaught exceptions”

Hope you were able to resolve the issue.
