Hello, I’m going through your tutorials on debugging jsp’s. When I set a breakpoint in the HelloWorld jsp., everything seems to work, except that the suspended line background’s color is not inverted, making it hard to determine which line the jsp is suspended on. Do you know how to set this?
Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.
Hello,
Sorry to leave out operating environment:
Windows
Eclipse Version 3.0.2 Build id 200503110845
MyEclipse Version 3.8.4
JDK version: 1.4.2
Tomcat 5.5Paula,
I just tried this with the exact same setup you mentioned and it worked fine, I think you might have line highlighting turned off in the JSP editor… check your settings here: WIndow > Prefs > MYEclipse > Editors > Common Editor Preferences > “Highlight current line”, make sure that is checked.Then go down to the “Appearance color options” below, and select “Current line highlight” and make sure there is a color set, mine is a light blue and when breakpoints are hit, it highlights the line and hows it in light blue.
Thanks! I set the highlight attribute to a darker shade and now it’s clearly visible. I am SOOO happy I’ve discovered this service. A wealth of information AND helpful online support!!! 🙂
One final note, I had the sysdeo plugin installed before installing myeclipse. I was starting/stopping Tomcat using the buttons provided by the sysdeo plugin, instead of the ones provided by MyEclipse. I have since uninstalled the sysdeo plugin and the debugger is working the way it should. I think that’s why the highlighting wasn’t working properly before. I don’t think anyone using MyEclipse should need the sysdeo plugin (as this plugin provides Tomcat support through Eclipse), since MyEclipse provides the same functionality. It might be helpful to have this written somewhere.

Well, it’s written here now. 😉
Glad you figured out the issue, but you’ll note that Riyad asked you earlier in the thread to post all the information we request in the Posting Guidelines. had you admitted you had the Sysdeo plugin installed, in response to our question about other plugins installed, he would’ve been able to immediately tell you what the issue was. We ask all those detailed questions for a good reason. 😉
