Breakpoint monitors are actions that occur whenever the breakpoint is considered to be hit, even if the suspend policy of the breakpoint does not cause the debuggee to suspend. Listed below are the available monitors for all types of breakpoints.
The beep monitor emits a beep sound when the breakpoint is hit.
This is represented using a checkbox in the breakpoint customizer.
Note that the java.awt.Toolkit.beep()
method does
not always produce a sound, and depends entirely on your system
configuration.
The expression monitor evaluates a Java-like expression each time the breakpoint is hit. This is represented using a checkbox and text field in the breakpoint customizer.
The stack trace monitor dumps the event thread call stack to the Output window when the breakpoint is hit. This is represented using a checkbox in the breakpoint customizer.
