What is the little tick on top of the blue breakpoint marker in Eclipse means?

When you toggle a breakpoint in Eclipse, on the left you get a blue marker. Sometimes the blue marker is accompanied with a tick, what does that mean? Thank you

Edit: It seems non of you know exactly what I am talking about, here goes the pic of it... breakpoint with/without tick and in the breakpoint panel breakpoint panel

The tick is only shown when you have an active debug session at that line. It means your breakpoint is active and attached to the bytecode running in debug mode. Debugger cannot (and will never) stop at breakpoints without that "tick".

If you don't have this "tick" at some lines then your have differences between the bytecode and the source code you debug. This can happen when debugged bytecode has not been produced by the attached source code or bytecode has been compiled without debugging information like line numbers etc.
