# Stepping Into a Method

When you step into a method, JDE executes one source line; if the source line is a method call, JDE stops just before executing the first statement of the method.

To step into a thread:

- Click the Into button on the Edit/Debug toolbar.

If you step into a method for which the source code is not available, the debugger highlights the line in purple. To continue debugging, either click the To Here button on the Edit/Debug toolbar or set a breakpoint and click the Go button.
