Description Stefan Winkler CLA 2017-11-29 10:26:05 EST 
I would like to see an option for trigger points so that
- regular break points are activated (i.e., same behavior as today) BUT
- hitting the trigger point itself does not suspend VM execution

This would be useful for scenarios in which I just want to hit a breakpoint after a certain line of code has been executed. For example, in an SWTBot test case I want to have a trigger point in the test case (= testable-thread) and a regular breakpoint in the regular logic (UI thread). 
My problem is that when the trigger point is hit I need to continue execution; thus, the SWTBot application under test loses focus and this breaks the test case.

Will look into the possibilities.
