Why does Eclipse's debugger stop working randomly?

I have been working on a project that requires rigorous debugging at each step, and I notice that my debugger just randomly stops working from time to time and does not respond to any of the breakpoints.

I tried restarting eclipse and unplugging my device over and over. Any particular reason this might be happening?

For all major issues with eclipse, not loading, freezing, or debugger failure (that is not because of your code), try the following line:

./eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState -refresh

First, I would make sure your Eclipse is not running out of heap space memory. If necessary, increase the heap memory using the -mx Java command line flag.

In <Eclipse root folder>\eclipse.ini change -Xmx384m to -Xmx768m, this will double the available heap space for Eclipse and hopefully improve its stability.

-xms is the start memory (at the VM start), -xmx is the maximum memory for the VM

eclipse.ini : the memory for the VM running eclipse
jre setting : the memory for java programs run from eclipse
catalina.sh : the memory for your tomcat server
