java - Debug full screen app in eclipse

Hi,

I'm developing a java full screen application. I would like to debug this application using eclipse debugger. However, if I put a breakpoint, my application stops, but my eclipse window doesn't popup, because the full screen application is on.

Up till now, I commented out the lines which made it a full screen application, but I wonder if there is a better solution for this...

+2 A:

Simple solution is 2 screens maybe...? Or if its Windows try alt+tab'ing to Eclipse.

- 2 screens might be a solution, but for that I would need a second screen... :-)- it's a mac. (see tag)

What about putting a line of code to go back to Window mode right before the line with the break point?

+1 A:

Run your app in VirtualBox (if an Intel Mac) and connect remotely with the debugger. (Only an idea, never done this).

Simple: go with a Virtual Desktop

Put eclipse on one desktop, and your full screen app on another.
Then switch back on the eclipse screen, and wait for the breakpoint to be activated.

switching to another desktop doesn't seem to work when the full-screen application is running...
