Can I “Force Return” from a void method in the Eclipse debugger?

Question

While debugging in Eclipse, it would be useful for me to avoid the side effects of a void function by just doing a force return (which I have done before with a non-void method).

However, the context menu item is always disabled when I try to return from a void method. Specifically, I tried going into the Display pane while debugging, enter a value I'd like to return, right-click and select "Force Return". Obviously, a void method is not supposed to return anything so I can understand why this menu item is disabled.

Does anyone know of a way to do this, or does some feature of Java prohibit me from doing it?

是的，您可以这样做，不要使用变量显示中的上下文菜单，而是右键单击代码，您将在上下文菜单中看到“强制返回”。
