Build Identifier: SpringSource Tool Suite   Version: 2.3.2.  RELEASE Build Id: 201003230009

Please, add new suspend policy value 'continue' to allow to use condition field as some logging replacement without code changes.

For example - type in condition field
System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
return false;

to log time when debugger is on this breakpoint.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) type in condition field
System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
return true;

2) run code with breakpoint several times to log time when debugger is on this breakpoint.

I am going to close this wontfix, reason being you can simply return false from any condition to have the breakpoint never suspend and log infos as you have shown - in effect making a 'tracepoint', which is asked for in bug 71020
