In NB3.6 it was possible to create method breakpoint from context menu in classes view. As it was said, this was duplicate information to explorer, so methods are not shown anymore in the view. But with it also the feature is gone. Would be nice to have possibility to create method breakpoint from context menu in explorer. This way can be created also variable breakpoints and watches.
I can imagine this behavior. On the other hand it is possible to select (double click) the method in explorer and add breakpoint via menu.
As suggested in issue #57442, the set of the method entry/exit breakpoints should be available in the context menu on method nodes in the Projects window as well as Navigator window. Also nodes in the Call Stack view can have that in context menu.
We will add the possibility to add field and method breakpoints via the gutter in Editor. Currently, only line breakpoints can be added that way. The extension with field and method breakpoints looks natural.
See issue #65015, the field and method breakpoints can be submitted from the Editor gutter now. This seems to be easy enough...
Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
