Hello,

I tried the javascript debugging tutorial both in Win XP and Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. In Win XP everything worked fine but in Ubuntu (my primary machine) the breakpoints did not work. Any tips to get it work?

I'm using MyEclipse 8.0.

t. JKumma

JKumma,
Can you give some more details?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2.

Quote:

the breakpoints did not work

Can you explain in detail what exactly is happening?
3. Can you list out the steps in detail to replicate your issue?
4. Are there any errors logged in the log file located at workspace dir > .metadata > .log?

The breakpoints do not stop the program as it does in Windows. The following error was in .metadata logs:

There were some changes made for MyEclipse 8.5, can you upgrade to MyEclipse 8.5 and try again?
Let us know how that works for you.

Same issue for me using MyEclipse 8.6.1. Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. All JavaScript breakpoints are missed/skipped and the log has this error:
