1. Download CDT package
2. Run the CDT on a new workspace.
3. Create a "Hello world" project.
4. Doubleclick the ruler to add breakpoint.

Breakpoint will not be added. The problem is that condition for enabling org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui.ToggleCBreakpointsTargetFactory fails as expression testers are n/a.

The most obvious fix would be to set forcePluginActivation attribute of the <test> elements to "true" (I tested it locally) but this may slightly degrade performance.

I have seen this problem so many times that I think it is worth taking the risk of the slight performance degradation. From what I tested, the plugin does not get activated until the toggle breakpoint command is executed.
