I m using Eclipse Luna Version: Luna Release (4.4.0) Build id: 20140612-0600-32 BIT I have some breakpoints and remote debugger on which use to work as expected.

Suddenly it stopped working. I m debugging using Target runtime option.

Now , it does not stop at the breakpoints. Though in case of remote debugging , it connects to the port. Verified that using netstat. But it is just not stopping at breakpoints. I m using SUN JDK 1.7 Some times I get PERM SPACE OUT issue. Kindly suggest.

There are two problems (Whearat EclipseA debugs EclipseB):

  1. The plug-in you develop in EclipseA is async to the deployed plugin the EclipseB take use of. This may case if the project can not build compleatly in EclipseA or a old version of your plugin is loaded by the EclipseB first.
  2. The EclipseB has not enougth memory/permgen. So add -Xms512m -Xmx2g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m to the Debug-Configuration's VM-Arguments.

You can do few things:

  • Refresh all projects code
  • Clean all projects and rebuild them

If any of above activities will not resolve your problem then try to remove all projects from eclipse, remove all eclipse settings files and directories and import your projects again.

I also faxed this issue. I resolved by go to your eclipse workspace folder->.metadata ->org.eclipse.debug.core inside this folder there will be .launches folder delete this folder. I am sure this will resolve you problem.
