Setting or Unsetting Breakpoints in a Method

To set or unset a breakpoint while in the Jade Debugger

• Position the caret on the appropriate line of code in the method source window and then perform one of the following actions.

  • Select the Toggle command from the Breakpoints menu

  • Click the Toggle Breakpoint toolbar button

  • Press F5

The selected line of code is then highlighted when a breakpoint is set (or the selected color of your choice). In addition, a filled circle is displayed in the breakpoint margin at the left of the method source window and the Breakpoints window indicates that a breakpoint is enabled for that line of code, while an empty circle indicates that the breakpoint is disabled.

You can also toggle a breakpoint in a line of logic selected in the editor pane of the Class Browser or Primitive Types Browser, by performing one of the following actions.

• Clicking in the breakpoint margin at the left of the line of code in the editor pane adds a breakpoint, indicated by a filled circle in the breakpoint margin of the editor pane and the method source window in the Jade Debugger.

  Alternatively, clicking on the icon of an enabled breakpoint removes the breakpoint in the development environment. Clicking on a disabled breakpoint empty circle enables the breakpoint.

• Clicking on the icon of a disabled breakpoint enables the breakpoint in the development environment, which is then indicated by a filled circle in the breakpoint margin and the first column of the table in the Jade Debugger Breakpoints window.

  Alternatively, clicking on the icon of a disabled breakpoint removes the breakpoint in the development environment. Clicking on a disabled breakpoint empty circle enables the breakpoint.

• Clicking the Browser toolbar Toggle Breakpoint button.

• Selecting the Toggle Breakpoint command from the Methods menu.

• Pressing F5.
