Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the breakpoint workflow in Apache NetBeans 28 with a Java class on Linux and JDK 8, then compare the behavior with NetBeans 24 or earlier. Trace the debugger's tab-opening path; done means reaching a breakpoint reuses the existing class tab and keeps its breakpoint visible.
