What do those yellow horizontal arrows in eclipse, at the left of the line numbers do?

I'm talking about the lines that are in the same visual space as my break points. What do those do, and why are popping up and covering my break points?

I am in the Java perspective, i'm looking at the code (code editor view), the debugger is not running, my application is not running. My eclipse is Helios. and I've got RTC tools installed on it.

Thx, you guys are awesome.

EDIT: arrows are not triangles. I wasn't talking about the warnings :P

EDIT #2: a snapshot added:

Solution 1:

The yellow arrows show up next to search results for me. If you go to the search tab and delete the results they should go away.

Solution 2:

You can get rid of them by going to Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations, then look for "Search Results" and uncheck "Vertical Ruler".

Solution 3:

This is what they look like.

Note that it's pointing at a blank line. I also did a search for some string and it did not affect the arrow. I have been trying to get "Extract Android String" to work from a keyboard shortcut (Mac OS) and may have found some other implicated command.

Edit: I see it now. Eclipse has more than one search command. This is not from command-F (find/replace). It is from control-H (search). There's a Search item on the menu bar as well.

Solution 4:

not really sure what you are looking at...

for me, the little orange looking lines are on the right - and they represent compiler warnings. - you can hover your mouse over them for messages.

when you double click a word in the code, then more lines appear - where that word is also located in the file.
