Description

Greetings,
 
I am using Groovy 2.4.15 under NetBeans 8.2 and Java 8 on a 64 bit Linux box.
 
I am dynamically loading Groovy with the following code:
 
if (groovyLoader == null)
groovyLoader = new GroovyClassLoader(GroovyClass.class.getClassLoader());
groovyClass = groovyLoader.parseClass(new GroovyCodeSource(new File(path + sourceFile)), false);
 
 
Doing it this way, when debugging the loaded class, I am able to set breakpoints from within IntelliJ and it works as expected.  However, NetBeans & VSCode ignore the breakpoints.
 
I do a similar thing with Java files, and NetBeans & VSCode honors those breakpoints.
 
There must be something different between dynamically loaded Java and dynamically loaded Groovy.
 
Thanks.
