eclipse refuses to disable break-on-exception

[gadget]

Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone has had a similar issue?

My problem is this - I run a socket thread (pthread, attached to jvm) that listens on a java socket with a timeout. If no message arrives, a socket timeout exception is thrown, which I check for immediately following the Receive call. Here is the code:

            localEnv->CallVoidMethod(mjoEndpointSocket, jmidReceive, joPacket);

            // -- check timeout exception, reset it
            if ( localEnv->ExceptionCheck() ) {
                localEnv->ExceptionClear();
            }

However Eclipse (Indigo) keeps breaking on this exception. I've tried disabling breaking on caugh/uncaught exceptions via the 'J!' button in the debugger view, but to no effect.

here's my hacky workaround:

in the function of interest insert:

    android.os.Debug.waitForDebugger();

and add a breakpoint on the next line of code.
Now run as android application (not debug as android application)
and it should break only on the desired location
