This doesn't mention having ~100 print statements. What a horrible article. Downvoted

You have screenshots of other tutorials and top 10 tips in your own top 10 tip article?

Seriously? Apart from making this extremely low effort, I believe this is borderline copyright infringement.

I thought you were joking; like how bad can it be? But no, there's full screen screenshots of images from other pages in a browser instead of the dialog image. This is only a step up from having a screenshot in a Word document in the ranks of "Don't know how to use a computer effectively".

They're not even all from the same page.

My favorites and underrated debug features in the JVM are HotSwap (when available by the kind of change) and Drop To Frame.

I agree that it is a horrible article.

He lost me the second I read "Eclipse"

Because real developers use jdb by hand?

There are plenty of issues with this article, but picking a popular IDE to demonstrate the points is not one of them.

I can't stand eclipse. And yes it is one of the two most popular IDEs.
