debug java program step by step in Eclipse

Question

I would like to debug the whole flow of a java program line by line and I am using eclipse how can I do that?

There's a "debug as" option right next to the "run as". It's pretty obvious. — Kayaman

How are you running your java application? Kayaman is right that there is a debugging option but the config will vary greatly. — Arjun Sol

There are multiple steps required to debug a java program in eclipse such as:

Setting breakpoints
Starting the debugger
controlling the program execution. For line by line use F6 and F5 to step into a method
Evaluating variables etc

Putting everthing here will make the answer too long. I advice you to follow this tutorial :

Create a break point in the first line of your main method then using F5 (step into) to walk through it.

BTW, such questions are all over the web. To be a good programmer, use google wisely.
