Description ivan 2004-08-12 00:54:07 UTC 
While writing a bpt customizer I was in a position
to have a panel get a Breakpoint and need to get
at the type in order to get a sub-customizer.
But there is no Breakpoint.getBreakpointType()!

This would also mean that the constructor for
Breakpoint needs a BT passed in.

I'm sure this can be worked around but it would be
a nice improvement. Also make BreakpointType
become a factory of Breakpoints?

Ivan S.: When fixing, see also duplicate 47141 (47141 has an additional
comment/request for enhancement that is different and is not mentioned in 47136)
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2010-01-21 09:32:15 UTC 
We can not add Breakpoint.getBreakpointType() that would return BreakpointType. The API was designed (IMHO unnecessarily) into two modules, therefore api.debugger should not depend on spi.debugger.ui - since the dependency is vice-versa.
Therefore Breakpoint can not access BreakpointType.

However, I prepare to add additional properties to Breakpoint (like String type, language, etc.)

Please have a look at issue #179759 and https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=93458 This is supposed to solve this as well. Would it be sufficient?

Too bad about the module dependency thing.

Names are OK; that's what I end up effectively using
However, see my IS2 comment on issue #179759.
