How to set a breakpoint in Eclipse in a third party library?

Question

I\'m getting a NullPointerException in a Class from a 3rd party library. Now I\'d like to debug the whole thing and I would need to know from which object the class is held.

Answer 1

You can easily set method breakpoints in 3rd party libraries without having the source. Just open the class (you'll get the "i-have-no-source" view). Open the outline, right-click on the method you want and click on Toggle Method Breakpoint to create the method breakpoint.
