In 2016 version it works by setting the breakpoint to the class definition line (public class YourClass ...). You don't have to use explicit constructor, it stops when ... new YourClass(); is called.

Not that I know of. But if you are trying to determine from where a class is first being loaded, you could put a break point in the constructor (or static fields/block) of the class, and look at the stack trace. That should tell you where the first call to the class is being made.
