Description Martin Entlicher 2016-02-05 06:36:37 UTC 
Currently, the IDE specifies declaratively on which file types and what breakpoint types is the user able to set.

This is fine for projects that know in advance which languages are they able to debug (e.g. Java debugger, C/C++ debugger, etc.)

But this architecture is insufficient when we find additional file types that we know how to debug during runtime. This can happen when source maps are used in JavaScript debugging, or when debugging languages interpreted by Truffle framework.
