### Custom Labels for Breakpoints <!-- https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/pull/1803 -->
59+
Managing breakpoints in large codebases just got easier. You can now assign `custom labels` to breakpoints in the `Breakpoints view`.
60+
When debugging complex applications, it's common to set numerous breakpoints. Identifying the important ones quickly can be
61+
time-consuming and error-prone.
62+
63+
This new feature allows you to add meaningful labels to breakpoints so that you can locate, categorize, and prioritize them more effectively.
64+
65+
To label a breakpoint, simply right-click on a breakpoint in the `Breakpoints view` and choose `Label`.

Now provide appropriate label of your choice or leave blank to show default label

This improves clarity when navigating through breakpoints during complex debugging sessions, and enhances overall productivity—especially
78+
in projects with dozens of breakpoints.
