Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 14

### What happened

When debugging a Java / Groovy application. The system will not let you put a breakpoint in Groovy code before putting at least one breakpoint in some Java code. In other words, it appears that putting a breakpoint in Java code enables the ability to put breakpoints in Groovy code.

### How to reproduce

Debug an app that had Java and Groovy code. Try putting a breakpoint in Groovy code. The system will not let you.

Then put a breakpoint anywhere in Java code. Now you can put breakpoints in Groovy code.

### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

### Operating System

Fedora Linux

### JDK

8

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Apache NetBeans 14 on Fedora with JDK 8 using an application containing both Java and Groovy code. Start debugging, try creating a Groovy breakpoint before creating a Java breakpoint, then compare the behavior after adding a Java breakpoint. Done means Groovy breakpoints can be created without first adding a Java breakpoint.
