I went through the videos again just to make sure my code is correct, I'm not getting any errors and the debugging button works normally without the break point on it, but, once I place the break point on the println statement and then click on the debugging button my Java platform SE binary will instantly crash. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance, Derek.

Try executing the prepareAttempt(AttemptKind.FOCUS) function using Evaluate Expression as shown in the video, then press "Resume Program" button on the IDE (F9 on windows). The app should reflect change when the program resumes.

How do you get the Evaluate Expression tool to be re-enabled after doing the FOCUS part of the debugging so that one can continue with the BREAK part of it? Mine was disabled after doing the FOCUS one.
