FIX: Problems Using Breakpoints when Debugging Java Classes (161708)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q161708 SYMPTOMS
When you debug a Java class with breakpoints or single-stepping, the
symbols for java.lang.NoSuchFieldError and java.lang.LinkageError are
loaded, and a first chance exception error occurs. You must then load the
source code for Throwable.java.
CAUSE
The Virtual machine throws a NoSuchFieldError when it fails to find a hash
value for a field by name and type.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Visual J++ 1.1 and the Microsoft Java Virtual machine build number 1251 or
greater.
MsJava.dll is one of the files that is updated. Check the version number of
this DLL. It should indicate the version of the Virtual machine on the
machine.
To obtain an updated version of the Java Virtual machine, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java and select the Downloads link.
