How to use conditional breakpoint in Eclipse? [message #1808365]

I want to know how to place a conditional breakpoint in Eclipse. I have a code like:

public static void doForAllTabs(String[] tablist){
    for(int i = 0; i<tablist.length;i++){
-->        doIt(tablist[i]);
    }
}

Now I want to put a breakpoint on the line with the arrow but want it to trigger only if:

tablist[i].equalsIgnoreCase("LEADDELEGATES");

You should be able to use that expression (without the semicolon) in the breakpoint's conditional expression multi-line entry field, which is enabled only when you check the "Conditional" checkbox when editing the properties of the breakpoint.
