### Custom Labels for Breakpoints <!-- https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/pull/1803 -->
Managing breakpoints in large codebases just got easier. You can now assign `custom labels` to breakpoints in the `Breakpoints view`.
When debugging complex applications, it's common to set numerous breakpoints. Identifying the important ones quickly can be
time-consuming and error-prone.

This new feature allows you to add meaningful labels to breakpoints so that you can locate, categorize, and prioritize them more effectively.

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

Once a label is assigned, the labeled breakpoint is visually highlighted for easier identification

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