Can I move the instruction pointer directly to a line of my choice (within the current method) while debugging a Java program in Eclipse (Galileo)?
It's straightforward to drag the instruction pointer to the desired line within a method in Visual Studio, but I don't see a way to do that in Eclipse (and don't find anything about it in the docs or on google).
This is not possible.
If you simply want to execute some code at the current place you can use the Expressions view and enter your code as an expression. The methods called by the expression evaluation will run in the current debugging context.
