How do I step over the breakpoints without using Breakpoints view?

To step over the breakpoints:

  1. Select Window > Preferences from the IDE menu bar.

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Select the Run/Debug from the list in the left panel.

    The Run/Debug page appears in the right panel.

  3. Check the Skip breakpoints during `Run to Line' operation checkbox from the General Settings for Running and Debugging list in the right panel.

  4. Start a debugging Session.
  5. Select the desired source line in the Editor view.
  6. Right-click and select Run To Line from the context menu. Alternatively, press Ctrl+R .

With this you do not need to disable your hardware breakpoints in the Breakpoints view, and still can do full debugger stepping.
