Breakpoints

Identifier:

org.eclipse.debug.core.breakpoints

Description:

This extension point defines a mechanism for defining new types of breakpoints.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (breakpoint*)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id CDATA #IMPLIED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

point - a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point
id - an optional identifier of the extension instance
name - an optional name of the extension instance

<!ELEMENT breakpoint EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST breakpoint

id CDATA #REQUIRED

markerType IDREF #REQUIRED

class CDATA #REQUIRED

name CDATA #IMPLIED>

id - specifies a unique identifier for this breakpoint type.
markerType - specifies the fully qualified identifier (id) of the corresponding marker definition for breakpoints of this type.
class - specifies the fully qualified name of the Java class that implements IBreakpoint.
name - specifies a user-presentable name for this breakpoint type. For example, "Java Line Breakpoint". This attribute was added in 3.1 to support automatic grouping of breakpoints by breakpoint type. When this attribute is unspecified, breakpoints of this type cannot be automatically grouped by type.

Examples:

The following is an example of a launch configuration type extension point:


 <extension point="org.eclipse.debug.core.breakpoints">
  <breakpoint
   id="com.example.ExampleBreakpoint"
   markerType="com.example.ExampleBreakpointMarker"
   class="com.example.ExampleBreakpointImpl">
  </breakpoint>
 </extension>

In the example above, the specified type of breakpoint is implemented by the class "com.example.BreakpointImpl". There is an associated marker definition for "com.example.ExampleBreakpointMarker", defining the attributes of this breakpoint.

API Information:

Value of the attribute class must be a fully qualified name of a Java class that implements the interface org.eclipse.debug.core.model.IBreakpoint.
