Who do I need to pay to get the eclipse IDE m2e POM editor to follow the formatting rules of the XML file editor?
And no, I don't want to open the pom.xml in the XML file editor, and I don't want to use IntelliJ either.
You don’t debug the same way on a greenfield project and a legacy monolith. @manojnp shows how #EclipseIDE’s method, lambda & exception breakpoints adapt when the codebase is older than your laptop.

Multiple configs, prototypes, & tracing tabs—#Debugging in #EclipseIDE is more versatile than most devs realize. To see how these options shape real workflows, @manojnp takes you through them.

Launching in debug mode sounds trivial—until you need JUnit keep-alive, plugin tracing, or launch groups. This #EclipseIDE deep dive shows the hidden knobs that matter in real projects.

A race condition, a flaky test & a deadline—sometimes one breakpoint is your lifeline. In #EclipseIDE, they’re more than “pause here”: conditional stops, trigger chains & watchpoints turn chaos into clarity, says @manojnp.

When a bug only appears on the second run at 3 a.m., logging won’t save you. Breakpoints can—if you know how to arm them. @manojnp on #EclipseIDE features that catch the ghost without touching a line.

Skia, native rendering, #AI integration: #EclipseIDE enters a new era with Initiative 31. A radical shift for Java developers who still believe #IDEs can be truly open.
