Mute breakpoints by thread

You can set the breakpoint for a specific instance of the hashmap only.
Would that help?

I understand this will slow down my app (because a thread identity test would have to be done each time the break point was hit) but it's infinitely better than what I have now.

You can set a conditional breakpoint with condition like this

"MyThread".equals(Thread.currentThread().getName())

Where "MyThread" is the name of the thread of interest.

Thanks for the tip. That's actually exactly what I've been doing. But I do think it's a useful product enhancement to turn bp's on and off by thread.

thanks for the feedback.
