NetBeans 6.9.1 debugger on wrong file/line?

[llaskin]

I am running the netbeans debugger and have set a breakpoint in file A on line X.

However, when I run the app in debug mode, the file brought up at the breakpoint is file B on line X. If I change the line # that is selected on file A, file B will mirror that line when in debug mode. This is making it basically impossible to debug.

I ran into the same problem and was able to figure out that it is a project specific problem. You have to reset where netbeans looks for the source code. I was able to do it this way, there may be better ways, I opened the Loaded Classes tab (Window -> Debugging -> Loaded Classes). Then as I stepped through the files when I got to the file that was jumping wrong I found it in the Loaded Classes tab right clicked and said go to source where it gave me the compiled code view. I then clicked on attach source and pointed netbeans to the source I wanted it to use. Hope this helps.
