Error when setting breakpoints: The chosen operation is not enabled.

[grossetti]

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error when tying to set a breakpoint: The chosen operation is not enabled.

If I double click in the margin, nothing happens, if I right click and select "Toggle breakpoint" I get that error.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

Thanks,
Gabriel

Please open your error log Window -> Show view -> Other -> Error log. Look for the exception that is related to the problem you are describing and paste it here.

Also, what kind of file are you trying to set a breakpoint in?

I had this problem yesterday in Eclipse (nothing to do with Spingsource, but same problem with breakpoints). It seems like an update to openjdk has broken breakpoints in Eclipse. I fixed it by downloading the Sun/Oracle JDK and getting Eclipse to run on that.

Instructions here:

I am also on Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks for the link to the bug report. Good to know.

Yep, that solved it for me. Upon updating my Ubuntu install, it upgraded my java installation and it works now!

Thanks!
