Adding notes or descriptions to breakpoints in Eclipse

I'm currently debugging a Java application and often find myself wondering why I inserted a breakpoint at a particular location.

I was wondering if it's possible to add a note or description to my breakpoints in the Eclipse debugging view?

I can't find a setting in Eclipse or a suitable plug-in, does anyone know how to achieve this?

There is no direct way to describe breakpoints. Here is a workaround that you can use.

You could use tasks in order to describe your breakpoints. Right click on the line bar --> Add Task. In the description you can add whatever you want. Then add also a breakpoint on the same line.

In order to see the tasks, open the view Tasks from

Windows --> Show View --> Other -->Tasks
