What i am expecting i that when i press F6 , it should go to next line and when i press F8 should go to next break point .
But why this stepping views are shown ??

( During this view should we press F6 or F8 so that it goes to the java source ??)

Please guide me i am new to debugging in Eclipse .

Thank you very much .

The program is suspended inside some of the JUnit library code, for which you do not have source code. There’s no way the debugger can show you the source if you don’t have it! You can see where the program is stopped by looking at the stack trace; the method named at the very top is the current method.

You can press the green arrow to run until you hit the next breakpoint, which is presumably inside code for which you do have the source.
