Question

I have been asking this myself for a while.

Debugging in visual studio goes smooth.

But when i debugg in Netbeans(java) i find myself more than half of the time browsing through the system code itself. This makes it almost impossible for me to detect hard to find bugs, cause debugging simply is too tedious and unmanageable.

How can this be avoided? Stepping out all the time takes a insane amount of time, and i only wish to debug the code i have written down.

I usally add all the controls myself without using any drag and drop for forms if that makes any difference in the total picture.

Regards.

Ok I think this is what your looking for:

Netbeans has Step Filters which will prevent the debugger from stepping certain classes

Also look at this question: How do I configure NetBeans to only step through Java code that I’ve written.

Add java.* and javax.* to the Do not step into classes matching list.
