Description Boris Pruessmann CLA 2003-10-13 10:58:37 EDT 
Eclipse 3.0M4

If you run the following example, Eclipse will always break into the debugger 
when it reaches the throw statement. This differes from the previous behavior 
and gets very annoying if you use third party code that throws Errors and 
catches them later on.

public class TestClass
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try {
            throw new Error("");
        } catch (Error e) {
        }
    }
}
Comment 1 Boris Pruessmann CLA 2003-10-13 11:01:18 EDT 
Additional note: Eclipse doesn't break if "Suspend execution on compilation 
errors" is turned off, but this is obviously not a compilation error!
Comment 2 Luc Bourlier CLA 2003-10-13 13:51:30 EDT 
it's a side effect of the fix for bug 37760

JavaDebugOptionManager answers DONT_CARE, so the debugger suspends the thread.
Comment 3 Jared Burns CLA 2003-10-14 14:09:11 EDT 
A similar problem existed if you set "suspend on compilation..." false and 
"suspend on uncaught..." true, then debugged to a compilation error. It would 
suspend when it shouldn't have because the uncaught exception was returning 
DONT_CARE when it meant DONT_SUSPEND.

Fixed in JavaDebugOptionsManager. Please verify, Luc.
