Firstly, yes, it sounds related, although at a first-cousin level rather than a sibling bug.
Secondly, boy GWT debugging is fragile!! The guide really needs to emphasize that, although not in those exact words. Please consider that: (a) I spent an entire day wondering what I might have been doing wrong; (b) I downloaded THREE versions of JDK (one was already installed); THREE versions of Eclipse; and juggled various permutations. What quickly led me to a resolution, after nearly a full day of struggling, was the knowledge from your last post (thanks) that debugging GWT may have issues probably due to its sophistication / complexity. Once I knew that there were issues, I first removed Eclipse from the picture and tried to debug from the command-line debugger. Then I brought in Eclipse. Until then I was wondering what checkbox in Eclipse I had forgotten to check. [This was a mildly traumatic experience because I do not use any IDE, and this was my most determined attempt to finally try (pun unintended) using Eclipse. Sigh!] Ok, I'll end the rant and state my findings. These are not authoritative but might serve as a motivation for further investigation: 1. jdk1.5.0_19-32bit -- didn't work 2. jdk1.6.0_12-64bit -- didn't work 3. jdk1.7.0-32bit -- didn't work Setting a Client-side Method Breakpoint in command-line JDB (no Eclipse) FAILED: Got a null pointer exception from somewhere in com.sun.* stack 4. jdk1.6.0_13-32bit -- worked but with a catch 5. Eclipse 3.5 Galileo RC4 + jdk1.6.0_13-32bit -- worked with the following catch (the same catch referred to above): Setting a Client-side Method Breakpoint in Eclipse FAILS Setting a Client-side Line Breakpoint in Eclipse works Setting a Server-side Method Breakpoint in Eclipse works Setting a Client-side Method Breakpoint in command-line JDB (no Eclipse) WORKS(!) I would suggest two things for the GWT folks: 1. Please test debugging with the latest GA releases of both JDK and Eclipse (and update the post-GWT-release guide accordingly) 2. Please let people know that there may be issues, some could be very subtle such as a Method breakpoint vs. a Line breakpoint. (The current GWT guide is rather sing-song (cavalier) about debugging which makes the developer attack the problem as if s/he might be making an Eclipse config error, rather than doing a faster problem isolation by first simplifying the picture.
