Why does my Netbeans debugger break into a commented line of code?

I am debugging a Java web application running on my local Tomcat server configured through Netbeans 7.4 (also tried 7.3.1). I find a breakpoint in my servlet and go through the code, but I hit a breakpoint that is commented out.

So, I am sure that this should not happen. What could be the reason for this and what can I do with it?

Things I tried:

  • clean, build and reinstall (restore necessary artifacts, such as war, etc.).
  • close and reopen the project and netbeans
  • manually delete the project directory "target"
  • install new version of Netbeans
  • install new tomcat server
  • throw an exception at the beginning of my servlet to confirm that my code is not compiling or not being serviced (I don't see the exception being logged by Tomcat)

The cause of the problem was related to old Java class files that were not updated in the application directory WEB-INF.

Does anyone know what could prevent updating these files during cleanup / build / redeploy?
