Navigating Java call stack in Eclipse

Question

In debuggers like gdb, when you are stopped at a breakpoint, you can easily move up the call stack and examine the relevant source and stack frame data. How do you do this in Eclipse?

Answer 1

you just click on the stack frame in the Debug view.

Answer 2

In the "debug perspective", show the view named "debug". For each thread that is currently halted, this view shows the full call stack. Clicking on one element of this stack switches the editor view to display the corresponding class, and "variables" view will show variables of this stack element.

Answer 3

In the visual debugger, you will see the entire stack trace. Just CLICK on the level you want to inspect to do that. Definitely easier than using gdb commands. :-)
