Description Martin Entlicher 2010-11-30 16:57:48 UTC

The New Breakpoints dialog allows to set a new line breakpoint if the user specifies a source file and line number.
But when the source file is unknown or impractical to find out, it would be more convenient to be able to submit breakpoint on a particular (binary) class name and a line number.

This also requires changing LineBreakpoint API to allow to create LineBreakpoint from class name and line number.
