Netbeans 6.0 debugger problem

Question

The debugger passes through the breakpoint as if there wasn't one. It's probably some kind of option because one of my colleagues, who uses the same version, has no problems with the debugger. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You have to have you breakpoint on a line of executable, reachable code. If it's on a comment or on code that is not in the execution path--conditional that will be skipped due to the test value, then you will not be able to reach it.
Other than that, post a specific example. If it's a problem with your debugger, then it would also be more appropriate to post in the forum for that IDE/Debugger.
if(false){
  //none of these lines will ever be reached by your debugger
  System.out.println("Hello, this can never be reached");
}
