Eclipse Debug force a break to a debugged program

Is there a way to stop eclipse debugging a program externally, as user
and then to find out where, on which line, which class the program
halted ? I'd like to find endless loops in my program.

I don't understand what you mean with "stop eclipse debugging a program externally", but when you
are debugging a program, Eclipse's debug view shows all threads (running or suspended) of the program.

You can interrupt a running thread (indicated by the suffix "(Running)") by setting a breakpoint at
an appropriate place, or by selecting the thread and then pressing the suspend button (the yellow
"pause" button) on the toolbar or context menu (typically activated by right-mouse-button). Eclipse
will then show you the source code and line number where it was interrupted (provided that these are
available).
