There are several times I am stepping over code and suddenly end up in a catch block. It would be nice to be able to select the exception name in the editor and add an exception breakpoint for that type.
Deferred
Similarly, from a stack trace (in the debugger, or in the JUnit view) one would want to be able to 1/ add a breakpoint for the exception that was thrown, or 2/ add a breakpoint for that exception constrained to the method/class it was thrown from, or 3/ add a breakpoint for that exception constrained to any method on the stack below where it was thrown from (or above, depending on your direction of definitions).
open for 3.1
Notes re comment#2: (1) is already supported - click on the exception name hyperlink in the console to create the breakpoint. (2) & (3) are covered by the feature request in bug 36804. Remaining feature request is described in first comment.

marking as wontfix, but contributions are welcome
