java - Enable and disable all breakpoints in eclipse

Question

Is there a way to enable and disable all breakpoints in Eclipse...? I dont want to remove them just disable them & enable them after some condition is met.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Under the Run menu, there's a Skip All Breakpoints checkbox. If you select that, breakpoints won't fire (the actual breakpoint markers in the source have a line drawn through them to indicate they're in skip mode).

Of course, in the default configuration, running the code (rather than debugging it) also seems to ignore breakpoints so you may want to try running it instead of debugging. Note that this is default behaviour under Galileo/Ubuntu - whether that's different under other versions or operating systems is unknown to me.
