Debugging options page

Option Description
Show system programs in debugger and console Enable if you want the console and the debugger to list programs that are running outside the IDE.
Show creation time of running programs Enable if you want the debugger to show the creation time of running programs.
Source path for dynamically loaded classes Set the file system path to source code files for external classes, so that if there are breakpoints set on methods in the external classes, the debugger can step into the source code for the methods line by line.
Reset recent breakpoint conditions Click this button to reset the list of breakpoint conditions in the Configure Breakpoints dialog.  The default set of conditions will remain available.
Trace class initialization for running programs Enable this option if you want the debugger to generate the class trace for a running program.  To see the generated trace, select the program (not a thread) in the All Programs/Threads pane in the Debugger browser, while the program is running.   The trace will be output to the Source pane.

If you want to restore default settings, click Defaults.   If you want to apply changes without exiting the window, click Apply.
