What different breakpoint icons mean in Eclipse?

  • blue ball: regular breakpoint, active (possibly with a hit count set)
  • empty ball (i.e. white): breakpoint has been disabled (remove checkmark in the breakpoint view, or disable in context menu)
  • diagonal line through breakpoint: all breakpoints have been disabled (button skip all breakpoints in breakpoint view)
  • question mark next to breakpoint: a condition is active for this breakpoint (look under properties of the breakpoint)
