Re: [platform-debug-dev] Vote Result: Breakpoint Properites

It isn't mentioned explicitly here, but I assume this means we get rid of the breakpoint Properties view?

The responses we have received on the issue of editing breakpoint attributes indicates that users would like: 

* To be able to edit breakpoint attributes via the pop-up menu. 
* To be able to view/edit all of the properites of a single breakpoint in a standard properties dialog. 

Thus, the debug plug-in will provide: 

* A pop-up menu in the breakpoints view (exists currently), with standard breakpoint actions: 
        - enable/disable 
        - go to file 
        - remove 
        - remove all 
        - properties... 
* A properties dialog for a standard IBreakpoint. The only attribute common to all breakpoints that can be edited in the properties dialog is the enabled state of a breakpoint. Thus, the properties dialog will be available as API, such that other plug-ins can extend/re-use the dialog, adding more property editors for attributes specific to their breakpoints (eg. hit count, etc). 
* The following actions will be made available as API such that other plug-ins can re-use/contribute the actions to editor rulers 
        - enable/disable 
        - go to file 
        - remove 

Other plug-ins can contribute actions to the breakpoints view via the standard workbench extension points. Plug-ins will also be responsible for defining property page extensions for their breakpoints. 

The following bug has been created for this feature:
