In Flash Builder 4 you are able to have the previous debugging session be terminated as soon as you launch a new one. In eclipse previous debugging sessions stick around until you manually terminate them.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have eclipse terminate previous debug sessions when launching a new one, and if so how?

(I am using MyEclipse for Spring 8.6)

Not the best answer but... you could just make terminating easier on yourself, try Ctrl+F2

You can also go to Window > Preferences > General > Keys and search for Terminate and Relaunch. I'm trialing Alt+F11.

Alternatively you terminate on build with scripts like here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=647327&th=202549

  • *Terminate and Relaunch* makes sense. However, you have to normally launch and start debugging the first time (for me this is binded to `F11`), and just then you can use *Terminate and Relaunch* (I binded it to `Shift+F11`). – Danijel Jan 27 '22 at 14:43

First launch normal debugging session.
After that, while in debugging mode, you can use Terminate and Relaunch.

Here is how to bind the keys to the commands properly (Window/Preferences -> Settings/General/Keys):

enter image description here

In this case it is:

  • F11 for Debug
  • Shift+F11 for Terminate and Relaunch

Note: when assigning the keys, pay attention to When column.

If you press Shif during launching the new run, the old one will be terminated automatically.
