Requested by Jim Davidson:

In the Navigator, if I double-click on a method name, I get taken to the beginning of the method definition in the Java
editor.

If I decide I want to put a new breakpoint there, I hit Run -> New Breakpoint.  Up comes the New Breakpoint window, with
the default Breakpoint Type set to "Class".  Not what I expect.

If the cursor is positioned *inside* the method body and I create a New Breakpoint, it defaults to Method, which makes
more sense to me.

Same thing if I move to a method definition with Go To Source.  The cursor is placed at the beginning of the method, and
if I set a breakpoint it defaults to Class.

The fix is to change the default in New Breakpoint, so that if the cursor is at the beginning of a method it defaults to
Method.
