Need to trace a method of an API - java

In my project I added an API to my project.
For some reason I have to change a method of one class of that API.
Now I want to know how this change affect on my project.
So I used F7 to go through the method .
But it doesn,t work, F7 acted like F8 here !!
What should I do for debugging the methods of a class?Using Junit Test is helpful here?
Thanks.

If you are using maven you can specify that library sources should be downloaded when you collect project dependencies. Then, when you debug through your code, you can step "down" into your API classes as the project has the source available as a reference. Although I've never used netbeans and so don't know to what extent it works with maven.
See, for example
Get source jar files attached to Eclipse for Maven-managed dependencies
and
Get source JARs from Maven repository

The problem has been solved.
As davek said we can only do line-by-line debugging in NetBeans for a library (package) if we have the source code for that package, and for adding it in NeatBeans :
right click on project and go to "Properties"
in the window that appear choose "sources" on the left
on the right of window, under "source package folder" click on "add folder" then add the root directory for the source code.

How to get lombok generated source to be visible in eclipse/maven?

I am attempting to use lombok (https://projectlombok.org/) to help with "boilerplate" code generation. I have added the maven dependency and have also added the lombok maven plugin to the <build> element in the POM.
One of the things I was also told to do was to place the lombok-annotated code in src/main/lombok instead of src/main/java. I assume that I keep the package directory structure the same as in src/main/java.
This seems a little odd, but I did this and lombok did generate source files with all the getter/setter/equals/hashCode etc methods. They are placed in e.g. target/generated-sources/lombok/x/y/z/MyClass.java. This is kind of what I would expect having used other code generation tools like XJC.
My question is: how do I get this generated source to be "visible" to eclipse and the compile environment? I'm getting compile errors all over the place because it can't "see" the generated code. This occurs in eclipse as well as when I attempt to do a mvn clean install.
UPDATE:
I have already tried installing lombok into eclipse. It generates the getters/setters/etc, but there is a bug introduced somewhere that breaks the auto-complete feature of eclipse. I removed it from eclipse and am just trying to get maven to do the generation (or delombok-ing).
I've just installed Lombok (after a while) in my new Eclipse (STS) installation, and i was a bit "annoyed" by the lack of generated sources.
I found a hint however on this page that the generated structure is visible in the "Outline" view. (Look for the screenshots)
If you don't have Outline view open yet, enable it in the menu: Window / Show view / Outline.
Download Lombok jar (https://projectlombok.org/download) and execute it java -jar lombok.jar and select your eclipse installed folder.Restart eclipse and rebuild project.
To verify Lombok installation, please check Help -> About eclipse. Lombok entry show show at bottom.
You have to enable annotation processing for Eclipse to be able to pick up generated code.
Right-click on the project and select Properties.
Open Java Compiler and then Annotation Processing. Check Enable
annotation processing.
Open Java Compiler -> Annotation Processing -> Factory Path. Check
Enable project specific settings. Add your Lombok JAR file to the list.
Clean and build the project.
My problem was using full namespace annotation: #lombok.Getter, and I resolved it by doing import lombok.Getter and do #Getter

Source not found when debugging in eclipse [duplicate]

While debugging a java app in eclipse I receive a "Source not found" error in two cases:
Stepping in to a file in a different project which is already imported
Stepping in to a file in an installed maven repository
The files are there, but eclipse won't step into them, instead it shows a button to "attach source"
I tried attaching (which opened a dialog to define a variable?!) and eclipse did jump to the file, but the debugger could not inspect any variables there. Also manually attaching the source for each dependency isn't practical, as in my case there are thousands of dependency files.
Why is this happening, and how can it be resolved?
Just 3 steps to configuration Eclipse IDE:
Note: After updating the Source Lookup paths, you'll have to stop and restart your debug session. Otherwise, the file with the missing source will continue to show "missing source".
Edit Source Lookup
Select the Edit Source Lookup... command [ Edit Source Lookup ] to open the Source Path Dialog, which allows you to make changes to the source lookup path of the selected debug target.
IMPORTANT Restart Eclipse after this last step.
Eclipse debugging works with the class actually loaded by the program.
The symptoms you describe sounds like the class in question was not found in the project, but in a distribution jar without debug info found before the project you are working with.
This can happen for several reasons but have a look at the location where the classes showing this behaviour is found (look in the navigation pane to identify it). You will most likely need to change the build path of the project to avoid using this jar and have the JVM use the project instead.
EDIT: Note that as of 2018 it is common to use a build framework like Maven, where the build path is managed by the m2e plugin so this problem should be very less frequent than when the question was asked. If you use Maven and m2e, make sure to enable Preferences / Maven / "Download Artifact Sources" or right-click the project, Maven / "Download Sources".
The symptoms perfectly describes the case when the found class doesn't have associated (or assigned) source.
You can associate the sources for JDK classes in Preferences > Java > Installed JRE. If JRE (not JDK) is detected as default JRE to be used, then your JDK classes won't have attached sources. Note that, not all of the JDK classes have provided sources, some of them are distributed in binary form only.
Classes from project's build path, added manually requires that you manually attach the associated source. The source can reside in a zip or jar file, in the workspace or in the filesystem. Eclipse will scan the zip, so your sources doesn't have to be in the root of the archive file, for example.
Classes, from dependencies coming from another plugins (maven, PDE, etc.). In this case, it is up to the plugin how the source will be provided.
PDE will require that each plugin have corresponding XXX.source bundle, which contains the source of the plugin. More information can be found here and here.
m2eclipse can fetch sources and javadocs for Maven dependencies if they are available. This feature should be enabled m2eclipse preferences (the option was named something like "Download source and javadocs".
For other plugins, you'll need to consult their documentation
Classes, which are loaded from your project are automatically matched with the sources from the project.
But what if Eclipse still suggest that you attach source, even if I correctly set my classes and their sources:
This almost always means that Eclipse is finding the class from different place than you expect. Inspect your source lookup path to see where it might get the wrong class. Update the path accordingly to your findings.
Eclipse doesn't find anything at all, when breakpoint is hit:
This happens, when you are source lookup path doesn't contain the class, which is currently loaded in the runtime. Even if the class is in the workspace, it can be invisible to the launch configuration, because Eclipse follows the source lookup path strictly and attaches only the dependencies of the project, which is currently debugged.
An exception is the debugging bundles in PDE. In this case, because the runtime is composed from multiple projects, which doesn't have to declare dependencies on one another, Eclipse will automatically find the class in the workspace, even if it is not available in the source lookup path.
I cannot see the variables when I hit a breakpoint or it just opens the source, but doesn't select the breakpoint line:
This means that in the runtime, either the JVM or the classes themselves doesn't have the necessary debug information. Each time classes are compiled, debug information can be attached. To reduce the storage space of the classes, sometimes this information is omitted, which makes debugging such code a pain. Your only chance is to try and recompile with debug enabled.
Eclipse source viewer shows different lines than those that are actually executed:
It sometimes can show that empty space is executed as well. This means that your sources doesn't match your runtime version of the classes. Even if you think that this is not possible, it is, so make sure you setup the correct sources. Or your runtime match your latest changes, depending on what are you trying to do.
From http://www.coderanch.com/t/587493/vc/Debugging-Eclipse-Source
"When running in debug mode, right click on the running thread (in threads tab) and select Edit Source Lookup. At this point, you should be able to add the necessary project/jar which contains your source code."
I added my current project in this way, and it solved my problem
I had similar problem with my eclipse maven project. I fought with this issue quite a long time then I tried to rebuild project with
mvn clean eclipse:eclipse
and it helped.
Note: Using this approach will confuse the m2e plugin since the two approaches are very different. m2e adds a virtual node to your project called "Maven Dependencies" and asks Maven to add all dependencies there.
mvn eclipse:eclipse, on the other hand, will create a lot of individual entries in the file .classpath. Eclipse will handle them as if you manually added JARs to your project.
Unless you know how the classpath in Eclipse works, this approach is not recommended.
I was facing the same issue,I followed the bellow steps.
Window => Preferences => Java => Installed JREs,
You see in the above screen Jre1.8.0_12 is selected.
select the JRE you are using and click Edit. Now You should see the bellow screen.
Click on the directory, browse for Jdk, It should look like bellow screen.
click ok, and its done
I had the problem that my Eclipse was not debugging the source code of my project. I was getting a blank page with "Source code node found".
Please click the Attach source code button. Then delete the "default" folder then click add and go to your project location and attach. This worked for me
Remove the existing Debug Configuration and create a new one. That should resolve the problem.
None of the mentioned answer worked for me.
To resolve this issue i have to follow bellow steps:
Right click on Java HotSpot(TM) 64 Bit server.
Select "Edit Source Lookup".
Click on "Add".
Select "File System Directory" instead of Java project.
Select Root directory of your project.
Check "Search Subfolders".
Click Ok ok ok.
Thanks.
Click -> Edit Source Lookup Path
after then
Click -> Add finally select Java project and select project path.
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGIKPY6q1Qw
In my case, even after Editing source lookup and Adding project, it didn't worked. I configured the Build path of the project.
After that, I selected JRE System Library and it worked.
Evidently, Eclipse does not automatically know where the source code for the dependent jars are. It is not clear why debugger could not inspect variables once the source was attached. One possibility is incorrect/incompatible source.
Assuming you have a maven project and the sources of the dependencies are downloaded and available in the local repository, you may want to install m2eclipse, the maven eclipse plugin and see if that helps in addressing your issue.
You might have source code of a dependency accessible to Eclipse. But Eclipse does not know for source code for code that is dynamically loaded. E.g. through Maven.
In case of Maven, I recommend that you use run-jetty-run plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/run-jetty-run/
As a workaround you can also connect to a running JVM with the debugger and you will see the code.
Alternatively you can use Dynamic Source Lookup plugin for Eclipse from here:
https://github.com/ifedorenko/com.ifedorenko.m2e.sourcelookup
Unfortunately it didn't helped me as it has issues with Windows paths with spaces.
I have filled an enhancement request on Eclipse Bugzilla and if you agree this issue "Source not found" should vanish forever, please vote for it here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=384065
Thanks!

In my case in "Attach Source", I added the other maven project directory in the "Source Attachment Configuration" panel. Adding the latest version jar from the m2 repository din't work. All the classes from the other maven project failed to open.
Here test was my other maven project containing all the java sources.
I had the very same problem. In my case, I've disabled Window-Preferences-Java-Debug [Suspend execution on uncaught exceptions]. Then, the console showed me the correct error: my MySql user hadn't privileges to access the database. According to this topic.
Info: This is a possible solution, when you use maven (pom.xml) with couple of projects.
If you are working with maven, make sure what version you are taking inside the according pom.xml (e. g. 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT ).
It might be possible that your code is up-to-date, but your pom.xml dependencies are still taking the old JAR's/Snapshots (with the old code).
Finding the problem:
Try to debug the according file.
Therefore, set a breakpoint in the relevant code area.
When "source not found" appears, make sure to bind in the right project (where the .java file can be found).
The compile .class file opens up in the IDE editor.
Click "Link with Editor" to find the according JAR/Snapshot.
Now make sure that this JAR is the most recent one. Possibly there is a newer one. In that case, write the most recent version number in the pom.xml.
Then do a maven update and build (e. g. "mvn clean install -U") in the right project directory.
If you are on eclipse or STS please install and Use GC(GrepCode Plugin) ,some time you don't need to attach the source .zip file into your project path so GrepCode works fine for you.
I've had a related issue in connection with Glassfish server debugging in Eclipse.
This was brought about by loading the source code from a different repository (changing from SVN to GitHub). In the process, the wrong compiled classes were used by the Glassfish server and hence, the source and run time would be out of sync with break points appearing on empty lines.
To solve this, rename or delete the top folder of the classes directory and Glassfish will recreate the whole class directory tree including updating the class files with the correctly compiled version.
The classes directory is located in: /workspace/glassfish3122eclipsedefaultdomain/eclipseApps/< your Web Application>/WEB-INF/classes
In my case with tomcat projects I have checked project here:
Window - Preferences - Tomcat - Source Path - Add java projects to source path
In my case the Maven version of the other referenced project didn't match the version of the test project. Once they were the same, the problem disappeared.
When running in debug mode, click Edit Source Lookup after suspended from thread. At this point, we should be able to add the necessary project/jar which contains your source code.
After I added my current project in this way, and it solved my problem. Thanks
If you want to attach source code to any JAR by auto-downloading, try using this Eclipse plugin Java Source Attacher
I had this problem while working on java code to do process on a excel file containing a data set, then convert it to .csv file, i tried answers to this post, but they did not work.
the problem was the jar files themselves. after downloading needed jar files one by one(older releases) and add them to my project, "source not found" error vanished.
maybe you can check your jar files.
hope this would help.
this worked for me
right click on project -> Properties -> Deployment Assembly -> add your jar
Go to Debug configuration in eclipse and use below goal to run your application.
-Dmaven.surefire.debug
e.g
-Dmaven.surefire.debug exec:java
Well, here's what worked for me. I tried every possible solution on StackOverflow that there was. I tried changing my source location in the debug menu, I installed the m2e Eclipse plugin, I changed from embedded Maven, and I installed the run-jetty-run and nothing worked. Now, I will caveat that I was not trying to view an external person's source code, I just wanted to see my OWN code, but every time I "stepped in" to my methods that I wrote that were in MY project, I got the "Source now found" error.
After finally asking an expert, my issue was that the first thing Eclipse was doing was calling a ClassLoader, which you can see from the debug stack. All I had to do was F6 (step over) and then it took me back to my original call and then F5 (step in). And there was my code. Sigh...such a simple fix but an hour wasted.
For beginners,
There is a possibility that the jar file is a part of the project which you have not yet included in the Eclipse workspace.
For that, you need to know the project name of the jar file.
Say for example, its abc-18.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it means that the project you are supposed to include in your workspace is abc.
I had the same issue with eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0) and I was only able to solve this by doing the debugging via remote debugging instead of directly launching it in debug mode.
Attach source -> Add -> External Archive -> select the jar -> open -> done
the catch is look for the sources jar and attach this jar.
for example the jar ends with "-sources" Stax2-api-3.4.1-sources
sometimes these thing happens because of the version also like if you are using latest
version in that case it may arise try to use older version it will work.

IntelliJ Code Completion not working for new Java classes

IntelliJ IDEA 13 has started exhibiting a very weird behavior in my local setup.
Namely, in any new Java class added to an existing project, Code Completion does not work. So, after declaring an object variable of any type in the new class and then typing the name of that variable, followed by the dot (.), no suggestions come up for any of the methods of the corresponding object.
For example, after declaring
File f = new File("/home");
typing f. does not bring up a list of all the methods in the File class, to select one from. As a matter of fact, when typing the dot (.), no suggestions appear and at the bottom left (in the status bar) of the IDE window, the message "Identifier expected. Identifier expected." is displayed. Sometimes, a long list of totally irrelevant methods from irrelevant components or libraries are proposed.
Strangely, Code Completion works as expected if the above declaration happens in any of the existing classes.
This behavior persists after many combinations of machine restart, IDE restart, project re-importing, closing/reopening, or rebuilding.
Any ideas?
Make sure you mark all your Source directories as such in File -> Project Structure -> Modules.
Ensure that you are not in Power Save Mode while running IntelliJ (File [menu] -> Power Save Mode checked or not). If Power Save Mode is enabled, IntelliJ will not run background tasks, including code completion.
For followers, one thing that helped me (auto complete only showed cast
field
instanceof
etc.) was that I had opened a maven module that didn't link correctly to its children (it had a commented out submodules section), so IntelliJ just showed the maven java files as basically "text" files with a tiny "j" in their icon in the project pane. Fixing up the root maven pom.xml file to include the children dirs as modules and voila, they are treated as real java files again, woot!
I am using IntelliJ Ultimate 2017.1, and I encountered similar issue.
Maven project, was trying to using selenium APIs, but the intellisense didn't pop up relative methods for me.
Here is the way I solved my issue:
Right click on your project src folder
Choose Mark Directory As
Then select Sources Root
I had this same problem and it was caused by me not having a folder marked as sources root.
Right click on your src directory and Mark Directory As > Sources Root.
It helped me to mark the src directory as the "Source Root".
Cut the folder .idea and the files *.iml in the root folder and paste somewhere else out of project. when you re-open the project , auto import will work again magically.
There could be 2 reasons for your problem
Either the the source folder is not properly configured in the your build java build path. If the source folder is not properly configured the autocomplete wont get the required class definitions and autocomplete would fail for your project.
Restoring the default options in 'Windows > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist > Advanced'
Right click on project -> Add framework support -> Select Maven -> Click OK
The only thing that worked for me was killing IntelliJ (on Ubuntu) and starting it again.
This is not IntelliJ 13 but a more recent 2017.1.1 Community version. Adding this answer here so that others benefit from a cause that has its roots in the Gradle Configurations.
Now, in my case too the auto complete, Generate Override methods and other features were not working. What I figured out is that in my project settings, I had multiple configurations for the gradle modules. The moment I cleaned up the rest of the modules and retained the only one (apart from test) I needed for that project, all behaviors were back to normal.
Also in such cases of Gradle projects, remember to mark all your sourceSet root folders ad the Source folders.
Edit: If you do not want to create multiple configurations per sourceSet and you are importing a gradle module, on the import screen, you should also disable the Create a module for per sourceSet flag. Without this, I was having to remove the multiple modules after importing the module.
It was happening for me in a module that was not added in the parent project pom (they did it on purpose), that was the reason, I right clicked the pom.xml of the module that has the issue and clicked the
now the autocomplete came and in addition to that I can see the module as a separate project in the maven tab on the top right.
I was facing this issue while coding for eclipse-che client extension. Eclipse che modules are all of maven type. My client extension project was an independent module which can be compiled independent of the parent project. When I imported the same structure to Intellij my client-side extension project was not giving suggestions. After I include the client-extension project to the parent module (adding it to pom.xml) the suggestions started showing up.
Remove your package from the Settings>Editor>General>Auto Import>Java>Exclude from Import and Completion
I had run into this problem. None of the solutions from this post worked, but I was able to fix it because I accidentally put my project's package in the "Exclude from Import and Completion" settings.
I had a groovy project where somehow the jdk was not set as a dependency, so jdk classes would not autocomplete.
Fix:
project structure
modules
(your module)
tab Dependencies.
In the field Module SDK, add a jdk.
I had similar problem, nothing in this topic helped.
So finally I made it work, I clear cache of IntelliJ and restart.

This was brought about by loading the source code from a different repository (changing from SVN to GitHub). In the process, the wrong compiled classes were used by the Glassfish server and hence, the source and run time would be out of sync with break points appearing on empty lines.
To solve this, rename or delete the top folder of the classes directory and Glassfish will recreate the whole class directory tree including updating the class files with the correctly compiled version.
The classes directory is located in: /workspace/glassfish3122eclipsedefaultdomain/eclipseApps/< your Web Application>/WEB-INF/classes
In my case with tomcat projects I have checked project here:
Window - Preferences - Tomcat - Source Path - Add java projects to source path
In my case the Maven version of the other referenced project didn't match the version of the test project. Once they were the same, the problem disappeared.
When running in debug mode, click Edit Source Lookup after suspended from thread. At this point, we should be able to add the necessary project/jar which contains your source code.
After I added my current project in this way, and it solved my problem. Thanks
If you want to attach source code to any JAR by auto-downloading, try using this Eclipse plugin Java Source Attacher
I had this problem while working on java code to do process on a excel file containing a data set, then convert it to .csv file, i tried answers to this post, but they did not work.
the problem was the jar files themselves. after downloading needed jar files one by one(older releases) and add them to my project, "source not found" error vanished.
maybe you can check your jar files.
hope this would help.
this worked for me
right click on project -> Properties -> Deployment Assembly -> add your jar
Go to Debug configuration in eclipse and use below goal to run your application.
-Dmaven.surefire.debug
e.g
-Dmaven.surefire.debug exec:java
Well, here's what worked for me. I tried every possible solution on StackOverflow that there was. I tried changing my source location in the debug menu, I installed the m2e Eclipse plugin, I changed from embedded Maven, and I installed the run-jetty-run and nothing worked. Now, I will caveat that I was not trying to view an external person's source code, I just wanted to see my OWN code, but every time I "stepped in" to my methods that I wrote that were in MY project, I got the "Source now found" error.
After finally asking an expert, my issue was that the first thing Eclipse was doing was calling a ClassLoader, which you can see from the debug stack. All I had to do was F6 (step over) and then it took me back to my original call and then F5 (step in). And there was my code. Sigh...such a simple fix but an hour wasted.
For beginners,
There is a possibility that the jar file is a part of the project which you have not yet included in the Eclipse workspace.
For that, you need to know the project name of the jar file.
Say for example, its abc-18.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it means that the project you are supposed to include in your workspace is abc.
I had the same issue with eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0) and I was only able to solve this by doing the debugging via remote debugging instead of directly launching it in debug mode.
Attach source -> Add -> External Archive -> select the jar -> open -> done
the catch is look for the sources jar and attach this jar.
for example the jar ends with "-sources" Stax2-api-3.4.1-sources
sometimes these thing happens because of the version also like if you are using latest
version in that case it may arise try to use older version it will work.

Debug into Maven Dependency Source w/IntelliJ

I'm debugging a Maven project in IntelliJ and I'm trying to figure out how to step into the source of one of my dependencies that's specified in my pom.xml. Specifically, my project has a dependency on Crawler4J I'm seeing some weird behaviour from Parser.parse(), and I want to step thru that method. I tried setting up a local cloned Git repo with the source and attaching it via the Sources option under Project Structure, but I still can't step into the compiled Crawler4J methods. As a long time C# developer (and relative Java nub) what I would have ideally liked is something like .NET Reflector's functionality for decompiling on the fly while debugging, but a way to attach the source would suffice.
I just set up the same dependency and I have no problems to download the source code.
Now I created a simple Main class with a Parser. I do Ctrl + Left-click and it will bring me to the Parser class.
As you can see it has a link in the upper right corner saying Download Sources.
After pressing that link the sources are downloaded and immediately available.
