Is there any way to set breakpoints on all methods of a class?

Is there any way to set breakpoints on all methods of a given class?

I have a huge (2300 lines) legacy class and I need to set breakpoints on all method calls to understand how this mess works.

As Andrey Lavrukhin suggested, there is Simple Toggle All Method Breakpoint, install it through Settings -> Plugins. Works perfectly.

There is a plugin for idea: Simple Toggle All Method Breakpoint.

It allows you to breakpoint all methods / clear all method's breakpoints in one click from context menu on class in Project view.

You can follow the steps below:

  1. Run -> View breakpoints -> Add -> Java Method Breakpoints

  2. Class pattern -> full reference of your class (e.g., mypackage.MyClass)

  3. Method Name -> * (i.e., asterisk wild card)

This is similar to Sergey Senkov's answer, but without hotkeys.

In the structure view, click on the first method. Repeat the following for each method:

  1. Context Menu Key
  2. M to toggle the method breakpoint.
  3. Down

I have discovered workaround :

1. I have set "Toggle Brakepoint" hotkey to Alt+Numpad 0.
2. After that you can click on first method
3. Use "Toggle Brakepoint"
4. Alt+Down - goto Next Method. ( Alt+Up - goto Previous Method. )
5. Repeat 3 step.
