JBoss extremely slow in debug mode

Question

Problem: In Eclipse, you start JBoss in debug mode. Initially, everything works fine. After a while the server gets extremely slow and it takes eternities to step through your code. Restarts of either Eclipse or JBoss won't help.

This drove me mad, so I want to share my solution with you.

Answer 1

Solution: Delete (or disable) all your breakpoints. In Eclipse, go to Window -> Show View -> Breakpoints , select all entries and remove them. Afterwards, debugging will run flawlessly again.

Now you can set those breakpoints again that you really need.
