If I set a breakpoint on a line which gets optimized away (beacause of
constant folding, dead code elimination, etc.), the break point is ignored
as well. In the case below, I want to set a breakpoint on the first statement,
to see if I enter the method. I don't want to care if the first
statement will be opmitized away or not.

public class IgnoredBreakpoint {

	private static final boolean fgDebug= true;

	public static void main(String[] arguments) {
		if (fgDebug) // set breakpoint on this line
			System.out.println("foo");
		System.out.println("bar");
	}

}
