Yes, Eclipse does. &nbsp;It lets you set breakpoints, step through code line-by-line, view variable values at each given time, pretty much everything java does. &nbsp;You just need to right-click on a section of your code and choose &quot;Set Breakpoint.&quot;<br />

I am a recent convert form VB/ VB.net to Java. &nbsp;So far the onlyt thing I miss about MS are the debugging tools. &nbsp;The MS IDE provided a &quot;step through&quot; feature, allowing me to execute code 1 line at a time (stepping through or around modules as necessary) does anyone know if Eclipse offers this feature- if so how is it used. &nbsp;Thank you.<br />

Debugging Java code in Eclipse

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Editors IDEs

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
