The problem is that the File is external to the workspace i.e not
an IResource/IFile, so we can not set a breakpoint marker:
	IFile.createMarker(..);

- You can import the file into the workspace somehow and set the SourceLocator
  for the debugger to be able to find it.
- swith to the gdb console and do "b external_file.c:2"

We are looking at other ways to provide this, but none of them are
very satisfactory.
