Eclipse Debugger Does Not Recognize New Java Code

Question

I added a new method for my javacode and set a breakpoint at the beginning of this method and in different places. The Eclipse debugger translates breakpoints in the old code, but not in the new method added. I cleaned up the project project -> clearly to rule out the possibility of a cache. for me, it seems that eclipse does not recognize the newly added Java code.

Any idea what could be the problem? I am using eclipse Juno Service Release 2.

You need to stop debugging and run the program again after the signature has changed. If you want more hot-swap features, you need to consider using JRebel or a similar tool.
