I have an application that uses Hibernate that I debug in Eclipse (3.0M7). For some reason, the debugger is stopping for HibernateExceptions that are caught and handled within Hibernate (MappingExceptions, I think). My application works fine, but when I'm testing the application with JUnit or through Tomcat, and they're running in the debugger, it's a pain to have to continue execution several times when these exceptions are thrown.

Anyone seen this problem? Is there additional information I need to post?

One additional bit I can mention is that it appears as though Hibernate is trying to look up mappings for symbols like "(" and "=" when the exceptions are thrown.

In eclipse preferences you can tell it not to suspend execution on uncaught exceptions. Maybe not ideal, for debugging your own code, but at least it is not as annoying. I think that fixed it for me.
