1. JPDA has exception breakpoints 2. Default debugger don`t support those and it`s confusing that no message is popped to notify that they don`t work [Hanz] In future releases the JPDA debugger will be used as preferred (default) debugger implementation. JPDA debugger will support all features (superset of tools debugger). Such notification must be showen when user starts a new debugger session (not when adds such breakpoint). Moreover when user adds such breakpoint for server (for example) than he/she didnt want to see this notification each start of some client... But may be, some dialog notifying about set of all unresolvable breakpoints together may be created....
Exception breakpoints are supported by both JPDA and tools debugger.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
