    Hello all
    I recently upgraded my MyEclipse to the latest version 5.5.1 GA.
    I’ve experienced two annoying things both concerning the “Run” menu.

    1) The menuitem “Remove all breakpoints” has
    disappeared. That was a great feature as I could remove all breakpoints with the keys combination alt r then v. Now I have to click the double X on the “breakpoints” view.
    This is confusing and slow as I might now want to take my eyes off the some of the other views.

    2) Whenever I edit a file that is not a .java file it changes completely. The items resume,suspend,terminate etc. is still there but grayed out. the “Run..” item has gone.
    The shortcuts F11(dedug) and ctrl F11 (run) doesn’t work anymore.
    I have to navigate to a Java file to run anything which is extremely annoying if I’m editing a spring file or some other XML.

    There was never a menu item under the Run or Debug menus called this. It’s possible you had another plugin installed that added this?

    I don’t understand what you mean here.

    The items resume,suspend,terminate etc. is still there but grayed out. the “Run..” item has gone.

    If you are in the middle of a debug session, the buttons are context/thread sensative. So you need to have the suspended thread selected in the thread view in order to hit Continue or any of the other buttons.

    Was it so hard to understand ? Run/debug shortcuts doesn’t work and all menutitems are grayed out when I edit a non Java file, like an XML file.

    Thanks for answering my post anyway maybe somone else knows something about this ?

    As far as the menu entries, I may be misunderstanding you. I thought you were referring to the toolbar run/debug menu entries as shown in my screenshot below. There has never been links in those menus related to breakpoints, so I must be misunderstanding you. Please clarify which menus.

    Also for the second item, it makes sense that these context-sensative items would change as there is likely no run action associated with that file type. What does it mean to “Run” an XML file, for example.

    mlp,
    Do you mean the old behavior of relaunching the last-launched-config? If so, you can change the preference back to the original way by going to the Window menu, then clicking Preferences then going to Run/Debug > Launcher… from there you can change the behavior back.
