Breakpoint in xtext dsl editor [message #1786076]

Hello,

How can I set breakpoint in xtext dsl editor?
I saw a post that it works with Xtext2.13.
But is it possible to do it in lower version?
By adding below extension in plugin.xml, I am able to get breakpoint option in pop up menu.
But it does not set breakpoint in editor and I dont see it in breakpoint view as well.

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
        <viewerContribution
            targetID="org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl.RulerContext"
            id="org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl.RulerPopupActions">
            <action
                label="Toggle Breakpoint"
                class="org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui.MyDslExecutableExtensionFactory:org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.RulerToggleBreakpointActionDelegate"
                menubarPath="debug"
                id="org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl.rulerContextMenu.toggleBreakpointAction">
            </action>
            <action
                label="Not used"
                class="org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui.MyDslExecutableExtensionFactory:org.eclipse.debug.ui.actions.RulerEnableDisableBreakpointActionDelegate"
                menubarPath="debug"
                id="org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl.rulerContextMenu.enableDisableBreakpointAction">
            </action>
        </viewerContribution>
    </extension>

Can I achieve this with older version of Xtext ?
I just want to add break points in editor. Debugging logic will be written later.

Thanks and regards,

Yes. I saw that.
But is it possible with Xtext-2.12 ?

yes and no, there where a bunch of bugs fixed between the versions... so i dont know which you will be affected by.
at lease the 2.12 version creates all regions with not for debugging so that might be the biggest issue.
so i dont recommend you to do that.
but i as well cannot tell you what you need to do to get this running without that coe
