There are some inconsistencies in debugger with calling of field breakpoints. Common name I think is Field breakpoint because it is about fields of classes. In New breakpoint dialog there is Variable in Breakpoint Type combo but Field Name label, Variable Access, Variable Modification in Stop On and 'Field breakpoint hit ...' in Print Text. Breakpoints view shows 'Variable ...' label for these breakpoints. I think it should be called 'Field' instead of 'Variable'. Variable can be a method argument, local variable etc.
Well, I agree that this is inconsistent and I also think that 'field' is better word then 'variable' here, we can have breakpoints for field and not for other variables.
It's fixed in trunk now: /shared/data/ccvs/repository/debuggerjpda/ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/jpda/ui/models/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.37; previous revision: 1.36 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/debuggerjpda/ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/jpda/ui/breakpoints/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.21; previous revision: 1.20 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/debuggerjpda/ui/src/org/netbeans/modules/debugger/jpda/ui/actions/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.11; previous revision: 1.10
