Re: [platform-debug-dev] Breakpoint property pages

[Jared Burns <jaredburns@xxxxxxx>]

Just defining property pages for your objects doesn't make the Properties 
action appear. We'd have to manually add the PropertiesDialogAction (provided 
by the platform) to the Breakpoints view. The implementation is nothing - 
just a line or two of code - but if we add it to the Breakpoints view, it 
will be there for everyone.
