Description Natasha D'Silva CLA 2008-01-03 12:34:36 EST 
JDT already provides capability to turn step filtering on/off.  Since there is no API to contribute step filters,  extenders of the debug plugin can either create and manage their own step filter preference page, or directly modify JDT's preference store.  A separate set of step filters per debug target type is confusing to the user, especially if the new filters are still dependent on the global JDT step filtering preference. 
Since the preferences are global, methods to contribute filters could be made available in the DebugPlugin class, for example.
