I migrated to java 8 in some of my projects, and noticed that every project that is set to run with java 8 breaks with no reason when debugging them..
When I run the project in debug mode, Eclipse just breaks in the class ClassLoader at line 436 which is the closing curly brace of a synchronized
Here is the part of the code of the class that is in the jre lib
protected Class<?> loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
synchronized (getClassLoadingLock(name)) {
// First, check if the class has already been loaded
Class<?> c = findLoadedClass(name);
if (c == null) {
long t0 = System.nanoTime();
try {
if (parent != null) {
c = parent.loadClass(name, false);
} else {
c = findBootstrapClassOrNull(name);
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// ClassNotFoundException thrown if class not found
// from the non-null parent class loader
}
if (c == null) {
// If still not found, then invoke findClass in order
// to find the class.
long t1 = System.nanoTime();
c = findClass(name);
// this is the defining class loader; record the stats
sun.misc.PerfCounter.getParentDelegationTime().addTime(t1 - t0);
sun.misc.PerfCounter.getFindClassTime().addElapsedTimeFrom(t1);
sun.misc.PerfCounter.getFindClasses().increment();
}
}
if (resolve) {
resolveClass(c);
}
return c;
} // <-- This is line 436 where it breaks just right after I click on the debug mode
}
Then I have to click on play and everything goes fine, but it is so anyonying to do this every time I want to debug an app that is driving me crazy.. Tried to find anything related to this but with no luck.
I also checked the breakpoints view and there are any. Also checked the Skip all breakpoints button but nothing seems to happen.
Also get to the point of downloading a new clean Eclipse and still happening.
Here is an screenshot:
