Is there a way to manipulate groups of breakpoints? A line has three states in NetBeans: breakpoint is on/off/cleared. One can toggle one breakpoint at a time or delete all breakpoints.

Each of these features would be useful:

1. Set breakpoint for each hit in result set
2. Import and export set of current breakpoints
3. Comment a breakpoint or a group of breakpoint
4. Toggle state of breakpoints in a group in one click
5. Count hits for each breakpoint
6. Trace breakpoint sequence

Count hits means: get to the state before the bug, zero the breakpoint counters, run to the state right after the bug. Do not stop at breakpoints, but do count how many times each was hit. Trace sequence means: report that first thread hit breakpoints 5, 7, 1 (×5), 2, 4. Threads 2 and 3 hit breakpoints 3 (×4) and 9.

If such plugin doesn't exist, what are the requirements to build one? Which language are NetBeans plugins written on? Where to find documentation?

Thank you

Welcome to the Ranch, Stepan!

I don't know if it's possible to do that in a plugin, having no experience with plugins or even Netbeans, but a bit of web searching led me to Netbeans's introduction: NetBeans Platform Plugin Quick Start.

Seems like plugins are written in Java.

Is there a better place to post my question?

This is your question, right? I'd suggest that the link I posted should provide answers to all of those sub-questions, given its claim

Netbeans wrote:Once you are done with this tutorial, you will have a general understanding of how to create, build, and install plugins for the NetBeans Platform.



Or did you have some other question not answered there?
