Setting a Counted Breakpoint

Using the Breakpoints window, you can make your program stop when a breakpoint has been hit a defined number of times.

To set a counted breakpoint:

  1. Open the Breakpoints window by choosing Debug -> Breakpoints.
    The JDE Breakpoints window is displayed.
  2. Click Show Advanced.
    JDE expands the Breakpoints window.
  3. Type a class name in the Class name box.
  4. Type either a method name or line number in the Location box.
  5. Type a number in the Skip the breakpoint box.
    If you want to set a breakpoint after an expression has been hit a certain number of times, type an expression into the Expression on which to stop box.
  6. Click Set Breakpoint.
    JDE sets a breakpoint that stops your program after it has been hit the number of times that you specified in step 5.
