IntelliJ IDEA: ClassNotFoundException if run Debug, execution/run does work

Marco Wagner picture Marco Wagner · Jan 7, 2015 · Viewed 8.3k times · Source

I have a Java Maven Project started in Eclipse, worked on it a few days, then imported it in IntelliJ IDEA, again working on it a few days.

The normal Run/Execution in IDEA and via shell does work, but not the Debug.

When I click the Bug Icon for Debug, it opens up URLClassLoader.java file and points on the Line "throw new ClassNotFoundException(name)" and pauses the Debug, if I click Resume Debug, it shows several Classes that do not belong to my project. I can click the Resume Button endless, it shows the same classes, also ClassNotFoundException over and over again in a continuously loop and does not debug my source.

If I click Build -> Rebuild Project it says at the Debug icon "Hot Swap failed myClassname: schema change not implemented; myClassname: Operation not supported by VM"

In the Debug window under Variables it says: "Frame is not available"

The Debug of this project in IntelliJ IDEA did work previously, whats wrong now?

Looks like you have an exception breakpoint on ClassNotFoundException. Please try to open Run | View Breakpoints... and uncheck the breakpoint under "Java Exception Breakpoints".
