Just because the breakpoint appears in the breakpoints view and ruler does 
not mean its attributes - signature and method name are set properly. It 
appears in the ruler based on the line number.

You should look at the paper on launching Java applications as well - i.e. 
using a launch config to launch the application.

Did you register the launch with the ILaunchManager?

You don't need to do this. If the breakpoint is registered with the 
breakpoint manager and the launch is registered with the launch manager, 
the target will be notified of the breakpoints via #breakpointAdded(..).
