debug java program step by step in Eclipse

Solution 1:

There are multiple steps required to debug a java program in eclipse such as:

  1. Setting breakpoints
  2. Starting the debugger
  3. controlling the program execution. For line by line use F6 and F5 to step into a method
  4. Evaluating variables etc

Putting everthing here will make the answer too long. I advice you to follow this tutorial :

Solution 2:

Create a break point in the first line of your main method then using F5 (step into) to walk through it.

BTW, such questions are all over the web. To be a good programmer, use google wisely.

Solution 3:

  • Set the breakpoints in all the method which you want to debug
  • F3 can be used to navigate into the method
  • Then start the debugging
  • Press F5
