Not able to debug in Eclipse

Question

I came across this strange issue where I 'm not able to debug my application (Java Web Application) in Eclipse.

History:

1. I deleted and re-imported the same project again.
2. Debug was working before this.

I tried:

1. Refreshing my workspace (all the projects)
2. Did a Clean + Build.
3. Checked my debug configurations for valid port number inside eclipse.
4. Gave breakpoints on the obvious lines of code where I know the control will hit these points.

Update I'm using JBoss server if that helps.

Any pointers which I might have missed out.?

Thanks!

Well, I've worked for years with Java web apps, using Eclipse and JBoss, and I've faced this issue multiple times.

What I'd usually do to fix this problem is erase .metadata folder from the workspace while Eclipse was closed (it will re-generate when opening again).
