Set Watchpoint Dialog

The User can specify that the debugger will stop when a particular field of a class/object is read or written with a particular value. This is called a watchpoint. Check the Target Info Dialog to see if your target JVM supports watchpoints.

To display the Set Watchpoint Dialog, select the desired field for the watchpoint in the This Panel in the top-level Main Window, or in an Object Panel in the top-level Objects Window. Then select the Watchpoint... menu item from the right-click popup context menu.

Or select the desired field for the watchpoint by drilling down through the loaded classes tree hierarchy in the Loaded Classes Panel in the top-level Main Window, all the way to the desired field. Then select the Watchpoint... menu item from the right-click popup context menu.
