[platform-debug-dev] Rendering dynamic breakpoint attributes in the BreakpointsView


Bug 21657 has brought to light an issue involving how often the BreakpointsView is updated.  The short description is that when using the standard Java debug model, it is possible for a breakpoint label to get out of synch with the breakpoint if it is set in a method, then the method name is changed; the breakpoint label will still show the old method name.  A relatively simple fix for this would be to simply update (refresh) the BreakpointsView on resource change events.  However, this would be overkill if it was only useful for the Java debug model.  The debug team would like to hear from other debug model developers about how they render breakpoints in the BreakpointsView.  Do you show information such as method/function name that is fairly dynamic?  Or do you only show relatively static information like module name and line number?  There's no sense in gratuitously refreshing the BreakpointsView, but if bug! 21657 would actually be an issue for other debug models, the refresh may be a good idea.
