Debugger doesn't stop at error? [message #38832]

I'm throwing a null pointer exception in my applet, but by the time the
debugger breaks the call stack is down to just one line:

EventDispatchThread.run() line: 112 [local variables unavailable]

I can set a breakpoint on the line that throws it, and the call stack
looks fine. I step through and watch the exception being thrown, the
stack unwind, and then it breaks when it gets down to that one line.

How do I get it to break on the line that causes the error?

Eclipse 2.1, JDK 1.4, Windows XP.

I got it to break by setting a breakpoint on uncaught RuntimeExceptions.
But I wrote a Hello World app and used a null pointer, and that broke
right away. Any idea why?

Does the event dispatch thread catch exceptions?
