Re: [jdt-debug-dev] Breakpoint Poll: Properties View vs. Properties Dial

I don't use the property view at all. This is the first view I remove from my page <g>. To be consitent, I would like to see a properties page. The proeperties of a selected project aren't displayed in the porperty view either.

Currently, there are two ways to edit the attributes of breakpoints: 
1) Via pop-up menu in the breakpoints view (i.e. enable/disable, etc). 
2) Via the property view for a selected breakpoint - displays/edits all attributes of a breakpoint, or common attributes among mult-selected breakpoints. 

(NOTE: We plan to add pop-up breakpoint actions to the Java editor ruler menu as well) 

The debug team has a couple questions: 
1) Is the property view effective, and do people like/use it? 
2) Would users rather see a "Properties..." pop-up menu item in the breakpoints view (and ruler) which would open a standard properties dialog on the selected breakpoint?
