How to use conditional breakpoint in Eclipse

Question

I want to know how to place a conditional breakpoint in Eclipse  I have a code like   public static void doForAllTabs String   tablist       for int i   0  i lt tablist length i     -- gt         doIt tablist i              Now I want to put a breakpoint on the line with the arrow but want it to trigger only if   tablist i  equalsIgnoreCase  LEADDELEGATES

A way that might be more convenient  where you want a breakpoint  write a no-op if statement and set a breakpoint in its contents  if tablist i  equalsIgnoreCase  quot LEADDELEGATES quot      -- gt     int noop   0    don t do anything     the breakpoint is represented by the arrow  This way  the breakpoint only triggers if your condition is true  This could potentially be easier without that many pop-ups

From Eclipsepedia on how to set a conditional breakpoint      First  set a breakpoint at a given location  Then  use the context   menu on the breakpoint in the left editor margin or in the Breakpoints   view in the Debug perspective  and select the breakpoint   s properties    In the dialog box  check Enable Condition  and enter an arbitrary Java   condition  such as list size    0  Now  each time the breakpoint is   reached  the expression is evaluated in the context of the breakpoint   execution  and the breakpoint is either ignored or honored  depending   on the outcome of the expression       Conditions can also be expressed in terms of other breakpoint   attributes  such as hit count
