Monday, September 7th, 2009

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”.

  • 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”
