How to break on exception in my code at InteliJ

enter image description hereI'm new to Java and using InteliJ Idea community edition. I previously used Visual Studio with C#, where I could select if exception would break (and wait "as breakpoint") on my code only.

meaning I could choose to avoid seeing exceptions of 3rd party libraries, until (and only if) they affect my code.

At InteliJ Idea I could not find that option... Only "stop at all exceptions" which is mostly to verbose for me

  1. Open "View Breakpoints". enter image description here

  2. Add "Java Exception Breakpoints".

  1. Find the exception you want to keep track of.

  2. Apply filters

enter image description here

There is no handy option to exclude/include the whole scope (e.g. your current project scope), but you may write a class pattern to filter out individual packages (e.g. -java.* -sun.*).

You also may play with the condition for hitting a breakpoint. It has the context of an exception itself (this) and, thus, this.getStackTrace() which can be used to determine what path, origin (getStackTrace()[0]), or destination (getStackTrace()[getStackTrace().length - 1]) to reject. It's not the best solution, but, at least, an option to consider.
