Stop code execution while debugging in Eclipse without terminating the thread

Question

Is there a way how to stop debugging when program hits the breakpoint (ie I don't want to execute the code after it) without stopping entire application server (I am programming apps in Java, server is JBoss)?

I know only one way how to stop debug - red button with title Terminate which shuts down the server. So is there anything else?

Answer 1

While debugging, context menu offers you to force a return. This instantly leaves the method and will take you back to the caller. One can also use Alt + Shift + F .

Answer 2

You can hit the disconnect button. See the attached image. This will continue execution and stopping debugging without stopping the server.

Answer 3

If you mean "I do not want the code after my breakpoint to execute", then you could use a conditional breakpoint to execute a return from that method.

(Note that you can execute any code you like in a conditional breakpoint. It does not have to be just a condition.)
