Can't see breakpoint symbol in Eclipse Mars2 because it is hidden by another symbol

Question

I have an arrow symbol in the line where I would like to have a break point (see first red circle). How can I tell Eclipse to always show the break point symbol?

Answer 1

Couple of possible solutions:

1) Don't show search result arrow:

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations. Click Search Results and un-check Vertical ruler checkbox. Apply.

2) Highlight line where breakpoint is set.

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations. Click Breakpoints and check Text as checkbox. Apply.
