condional expression debuger

How do we create a conditional expression in eclipse debuger?

Since i am not getting any response, i may have confused the experts :) -- basically i am using eclipse debugger in some java code. I want to add a conditional expression to the debugger so that it stops the for loop to stop at 60th loop (i = 60 ) for example. I just recall how to add the conditional expression.

I'm curious about that too. I doubt that you'll find an answer. Instead you'll probably have to add the following throw-away code in your loop:

if(i==60){
log.debug(); //or a noop() call set your breakpoint here.
}

Here is how it is done(i was able find this out on my home pc):

Right click on the breakpoint line in the debugger area, select Breakpoint properties. Then click Enable condition and put in your requirements.

For some reason this feature is not available on my is not available on my Work PC eventhough i am using the same version as at home.
