Linebreakpoints get lost when applying the formatting about externalcodeformatter_for_netbeans

[marccollin]

any breakpoint who exist are removed after using this plugin.

Yes that is a known issue. The text in the editor is replaced and the breakpoints are lost.

I was just thinking about this the other day, IMO removing the break points is the best way to handle this. If the code is reorganized, wouldn't it be hard to guess where the break points are ?

[markiewb]

I had no time to have a detailed look at the available debugger API yet. If
you like you could try it yourself and provide a pull request...

Best regards, markiewb

My hands are currently quite full too :) , but I will most definitely take a look at it if I get a chance. Thanks a million for this plugin however, IMO this is your most important Netbeans plugin. I created the original bugzilla request for eclipse code formatter support a few years ago but never got started with the plugin mainly because it is daunting work from my stand-point.

If we could fix this it would be amazing. It is preventing us from using your plugin for our developers. Is there any chance it will ever get fixed?

[markiewb]

@derylspielman : Thank you for your interest. I have an idea to fix this, but this is tedious and I have no time.

In the next version at least the class/method/field breakpoints will be preserved. See state of #47
Line breakpoint will still be lost.
