Java source code not shown in Eclipse debug view

Question

I am doing remote debugging of a Java application and am using the Eclipse debugging view. The main debugging process is working fine, and I see the method stack trace in the debug view at the corresponding breakpoints. However, I do not see the corresponding source code in the tab below, and it says:

Source not found.

The source files are already in my Eclipse project, and I see them in the Java view. I edited the source search paths and added * .java files to it. But even then, I do not see the source code in the debug view, where execution stops. Any clues about this would be appreciated.

For the Run / Debug configuration that you used for remote debugging, follow these steps:

• "Run → Debug Configurations ..."
• Select the remote config from the tree on the left
• Click the Source tab
• Click "Add ..."
• Follow the instructions in the wizard (add a project containing a debugged source).

If so, can you post a snapshot of Run Configuration ?

What I usually did with the Remote Debug startup configuration is Add Source as Java Projects on the Source tab in the Run / Remote Debug configuration. Thus, to add a project called so , I would do the following:

And when choosing a project, select two checkboxes:

The result is:

I took the following steps and it worked for me:

• Run> Run Configurations
• Java Application> Click the Source Tab
• Turn on the project by selecting the "File system directory" option
• Debugging started showing source code.

You are probably using JRebel, which automatically recompiles and reloads classes. Unfortunately, Eclipse Debugger does not work with a class loaded this way. To ensure that Eclipse will work with the class after the changes, you need to reload the web application container.
