eclipse: runtime compilation

Engines, Libraries and Tools Tools Discussion
#1

hello, i was wondering if there is a feature in eclipse that when you pause the application in debug mode, you can modify certain parts of the code, then recompile that method or even the whole class and then continue the application with the new code.
i know this feature exists in visual studio, so maybe it is in eclipse too?

thanks!

If you have Build automatically selected in the project menu, then if you make a change to the code and save it, the class will be recompiled and the debugger will move back up to the start of the current method that it is in.
