[news.eclipse.tools] Re: [jdt debug] This must be a joke

No Randy, it is not a joke.  There were requests for this level of 
control, and we supplied it.  If you look at other debuggers, they also 
provide this level of control.  If it intimidates you, why not set it 
the way you like it and forget about it?  The + & - buttons allow you to 
 turn on and off entire rows and columns.  This allows you to make the 
same decisions as under the old style interface in the same number of 
mouse clicks.  The only difference is that now, if you want to, you can 
make the settings more finely grained.
