What language are you programming in?

What version of Eclipse are you using?

Sometimes if the debugger won't stop at your breakpoints, it is because the 
source code you're viewing is not in sync with the code that is being executed. 
 Try doing a clean build of all your projects, and make sure you haven't got a 
stale version of your code lying around in a .jar or .lib file somewhere on the 
the path.
