Using the Debug view

With the Debug view, you can manage the debugging of a program in the workbench. It displays the stack frame for the suspended threads for each target you are debugging. Each thread in your program is displayed as a node in the tree. The thread at the current execution point automatically expands. If the thread is suspended, its node is expanded to show its stack frame(s).

If the resource containing a selected thread is not open and/or active, the file opens in the editor and becomes active, focusing on the source with which the thread is associated and highlighting the source line that the program is about to execute.

Nodes in the Debug view are visible if they are at the top level of the tree structure, or if the nodes a level higher have been expanded. For all nodes that are visible in this view, you can jump to a specific node by typing the first letter of the node. The view will jump to the next node that begins with that letter. If this node is not the node that you wanted to jump to, type the first letter again to jump to the next node that begins with the letter, and so on.
