How to avoid stepping into Spring Framework classes while debugging

Background

When debugging a Spring application, pressing step over button sometimes steps into Spring classes, for example: InvocableHandlerMethod.class.

Question

How to avoid stepping into certain classes or packages while debugging an application?

Answer

It is possible to configure the debugger to skip stepping into specific classes or packages:

• Go to Settings (⌘ + , or Ctrl + Alt + S) | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Stepping
• In the Java section, enable the option Do not step into the classes
• Click the Add (+) button to add a new class or package pattern that you want the debugger to skip
• Enter the fully qualified name of the class (e.g., org.springframework.web.method.support.InvocableHandlerMethod) or a package pattern (e.g., org.springframework.web.*) to skip all classes within a specific package
