Hi,

I am debugging a java class in eclipse 3.0. I want to know how I can debug a line again which has already been executed by debugger without restarting the debugging?

I have never been able to figure that out, but I did find that if you change one line of code, or add something like "if (true){}" somewhere, Eclipse will recompile the module and start execution back at the method's entry point ... at least with current Eclipse 3.3 and JDK/JRE 5.

I don't know about version 3.0, but in the current 3.3 version you can use the Drop To Frame command to back up to a previous line or to a previous frame (e.g., the method that called the current method). There have been A LOT of improvements to Eclipse since 3.0, and it is very easy to upgrade -- just download the new version and unzip in a new directory. I would think about it. Hope this helps.
