I place breakpoints inside common initialization block for Java classes (not static { } ones, but the "regular" { ... } common initialization block for constructors) and, while in a debugging session, the debugger won't stop on them, although it's clear that the implied code has been executed when the debugger finally stops, later, in any other breakpoint placed in a more "usual" place.
