Issue
When I start debugging a java project, Eclipse keeps on breaking at random exceptions in 3rd party libraries, and it's so annoying. any idea how to stop this?
I tried clicking on the (!) icon on the Breakpoints view, I can see that both "Suspend on caught exceptions" and "Suspend on uncaught exceptions" checkboxes are not checked.. still Eclipse breaks on the exception.
Although I'm not sure I'm using this window correctly, am I meant to select the exceptions one by one? Or is there a way to specify all exceptions?
Solution
The exceptions you select with the "!" icon in the Breakpoint view are the exceptions you want to stop on. If you put "NullPointerException" in there and tell Eclipse to stop on "Caught and uncaught", your execution will stop on every last NullPointerException that gets thrown. Are you sure you haven't set a breakpoint on each of the "random exceptions" your execution stops on?
