When I was trying to add a new Action to variables view in Debug perspective, I realized that most implemented actions first get access to the selected object (here a variable) and then traverse this object properties to access other data.
Here is my question: How can one access the DebugTarget and the Breakpoint caused suspension directly?

Most view objects (variables, threads, etc.) contain a JDIDebugElement object which has a reference to DebugTarget object. It is also possible to get the current breakpoint from JDIThread object by getBreakpoints() function.
