Finding One participant looked at the contextual menu but overlooked the "Customize" item. Another participant didn't invoke the contextual menu at all. Severity Two participants didn't know how to customize breakpoint. Recommendation Consider showing the breakpoint window by default. This might make some users go there instead of searching for it in contextual and/or main menu. Consider adding "Edit Breakpoint..." item into the main menu. The problem is that the editor contextual menu contains unnecessary submenus. Probably better would be to change the contextual menu and "Customize" item to something like this: Toggle Bookmark ------------------ Toggle Breakpoint Disable Breakpoint Edit Breakpoint... ------------------ Show Line Numbers Show Toolbar
It makes sense to display the Breakpoints window when there is at least one breakpoint submitted.
Discussed on usability meeting with following result: We will open BKPTs window by default (no matter it is empty or not). Also, we will add an action 'Show Breakpoints' (opening BKPTs window) to the breakpoint contextual menu.

O.K. So breakpoints window is opened by default now: /shared/data/ccvs/repository/debuggercore/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/resources/groups/debugger/breakpoints.wstcgrp,v <-- breakpoints.wstcgrp new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8 I'll add the 'Show Breakpoints' action...
The Breakpoints Window is opened by default now. We decided not to implement contextual 'Show Breakpoints' action since almost every breakpoint action can be invoked by the bpkt contextual menu now.
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
