Why when starting GWT in debug mode, my break points don't break

Question

I am using Eclipse 3.4.2 with the latest GWT. The IDE doesn\'t even switch to Debug Perspective automatically.

Answer 1

I was also following the StockWatcher guide on the GWT website and then got to the Debugging part of the tutorial and I could not get my breakpoints to trigger until I stumbled upon the SDBG plugin. I installed the plugin and followed the video and it worked!

My environment:

• Eclipse Neon.1a Release (4.6.1)
• JDK 1.7.0_80
• GWT SDK 2.7.0

Additional Notes:

Make sure to make a Debug Configuration and use com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode as your Main class.
