Hi Eclipse debugger devs,

I came up with an idea that I think would be useful in identifying
certain bugs, so I thought I'd tell you about it (hoping that this is an
ok place to post).

Imagine that when you hit a breakpoint, the previously executed
statements were highlighted.  My thinking was that by being able to see
the path taken prior to the breakpoint, you may be able to identify
patterns/differences between presses of "continue".


This highlighting might be displayed to the user by using a colour that
decays based on the distance from the current statement. Loops I'm not
sure how to deal with, but if you think this idea has some value, we can
talk it through.

Scott
