Description Toshihiro Izumi CLA 2013-04-03 04:35:56 EDT 
Preferences>Java>Debug>Open popup when suspended on exception
doesn't work.
Even if it is checked, ExceptionInspector won't popup.

Maybe because...
It is stored at
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.JavaDebugPreferencePage.performOk()
with JDIDebugUIPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().
So I can see it in org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui.prefs under .metadata.
However,
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.breakpoints.ExceptionInspector.ExceptionInspector()
refers JDIDebugPlugin.getUniqueIdentifier().
I cannot see the option in org.eclipse.jdt.debug.prefs of course.
(Sorry if I misunderstood)

The "Open popup when suspended on exception" does not work on my system also.  

I have tried un-ticking/ticking this option and restarting Eclipse a number of time but the popup is never displayed.  It has never worked since I first installed Kepler about 3 months ago.

Please fix. 

Immediately seeing an exception in a popup is far simpler to debug then to have to hunt through the call stack each time.  The call stack doesn't show the exception message either.

My system is:
Eclipse Standard/SDK
Version: Kepler Service Release 1
Build id: 20130919-0819
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit, Service pack 1
