Description Manoj N Palat CLA 2016-07-20 06:08:58 EDT 
Need a facility where I can put a breakpoint in all the statements in the search results wherever applicable (say Javadoc results are not for eg)

An additional requirement would be to put the breakpoint in the next statement (wherever possible) as explained below:

use_case:
Consider a search for a write access of a variable/field f and assume we have the result:

 f = fill_the_value();
 use_field(f);

It would save one step if the breakpoint is enable at the use_field(f);
In cases where the statement is at the end of a block, the default could be the statement itself.
