IntelliJ IDEA 12 -- viewing the call stack


I'm new to the IntelliJ IDE (usually work with Visual Studio) and I'd like to view the current call stack at a particular breakpoint. I've found information on building a call hierarchy but that's not what I'm looking for. Any information on how to view the current call stack would be appreciated.


Solution

  • The call stack is viewable when you click on the 'Debug' button on the bottom toolbar: enter image description here

    Specifically, the call stack is as highlighted below : enter image description here

    You may also be interested in an alternative threads view, enabled by clicking the 'Restore threads view' button: enter image description here

    Here is a bit of official documentation around debugging that you may find useful if you are new to IntelliJ:

    1. Debug Tool Window
    2. Debug Tool Window - Frames
    3. Debug Tool Window - Threads
