Debugger Window
The Debugger window includes the Breakpoints, Threads, Watches, and Variables tabs. The Breakpoints tab lists the currently set breakpoints, including the class name and the line number or method in which the breakpoint is set. The Threads tab lists the threads and thread groups in the current debugging process. The Watches tab lists all currently set watches. The Variable tab lists changes in variables and expressions as you debug your program.
The contextual menus in the Debugger window provide access to many of the debugging commands you need. Right-click an item in the window to display a menu. The commands are also available from the Debug menu and toolbar in the main window.
Output Window
The Output window is a multi-tabbed window, which might include a Compiler tab, a Debugger tab, and a tab for each running application. The Debugger tab is split vertically into two panes. The left pane displays the output of the application being debugged. The right pane displays debugging information, such as details of the program's threads, thread groups, and breakpoints as well as status messages from the debugger.
Source Editor
If you have a file open when you start the debugger, the debugging workspace also includes the Source Editor. The line in which the debugger stopped is highlighted in blue. If a line in the Source Editor contains a breakpoint, the line is highlighted in red.
