Outline (Java Debugger) view (formerly Java Debugger outline) to address vscode-java-debug issue 1298 allowing direct seeting of method(aka function) breakpoint.
This will allow setting:
• Class load breakpoint ClassPrepareRequest • Constructor and Method breakpoint • Overloaded constructors and methods (Not possible because of the limitations of VSCode Java Debug support even though it is supported by the Java Debugger API) • All overloaded Constructors and methods Entry MethodEntryRequest • Constructors and methods Exit MethodExitRequest
NOTE The method entry breakpoint is implemented.
• Field watchpoint • Access watchpoint AccessWatchpointRequest • Modification watchpoint ModificationWatchpointRequest
