Breakpoint for a specific instance? [message #154833]

How can I set a breakpoint that suspends the VM only when the object is
a specific instance?
I know I can specify conditions in the breakpoint properties, but that
doesn't let me specify easily an instance. For example, I am stepping
through my program and find a line where I would like to put a
breakpoint for the current instance.
Shall I file a RFE?

No. You can specify breakpoint conditions that effectively does what you
want. For example, if you have:

public void foo()
{
this.foo = 1;//<-- set breakpoint with _any_ scope valid boolean
expression
}

then thread/VM will be suspended there only if condition is true. You can
also filter threads. There is tons of options. Just right-click on
breakpoint in your code and select "Breakpoint properties".

All the best,
Vladimir
