I have F9 bound to Run | Toggle Breakpoint when Editing Java Source, when Debugging Java and when Editing Text. In the Resource Perspective, I have a Java source file open. When I hit F9 to toggle a breakpoint, it does not work. If I switch to the Debug Perspective, F9 does toggle the line breakpoint. This is a regression from M7. Under 3.0 M7, this key binding configuration worked as expected.
Debug: can you comment?
I'm having the same sort of issue, but debugging does not help. I've had F9 bound to toggle breakpoint for a while now and when I installed M8 the binding went away and I can't get F9 or Ctrl-Shift-B to toggle a breakpoint for me at all anymore.
Make sure you have the "Breakpoints" action group turned on. Since this is a new action group it may not appear automatically in an old workspace. See "Window > Customize > Commands (tab) > Breakpoints".
That fixed it for me (didn't even know that dialog was there!). I have heavily customized my Java and Debug Perspectives and IIRC my current Debug is actually a saved copy of the original Java around the M3 timeframe. I guess that makes this a little bug in the update process?
I believe the workbench already has a bug report for this (but I'll have to dig to find it).
Grrr, what a lame timewaste. Would have spent most of an hour, in three separate sessions, trying to get those key bindings to work. I wasn't really happy with the constantly breaking key bindings or the awkward and obstructive UI. Even less impressed when I find out the Customize/ Perspective configuration, which is a whole separate and rather complex are of ui, is required to be inter-worked with this. The fact that failure is silent and unexplained probably gives the average user a 10% or worse chance of getting it to work at all.
