Re: [platform-debug-dev] viewContribution override

[Pawel Piech <pawel.piech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMO, you'll have better luck introducing a UI which shows "pending" 
breakpoints for your debugger.  (I.e. breakpoints which are set to be 
added or deleted when the state of the target changes). 

For better or worse, breakpoints in Eclipse are shared between many 
different debuggers built on this framework, and generic user actions 
such as this one, cannot be (realistically) customized.

Cheers,
Pawel
