Eclipse can add a breakpoint to a variable. Any time that variable is accessed or set, the breakpoint is tripped. That's less than 30 seconds, that's like 5. You literally just click to the left of the variable definition.



The point of my example is you can put a breakpoint under any complex condition, I guess I should have made it more complex something like if(someComplexCalculatedValue() == 10). Anything that can be expressed can be added as a breakpoint if you use setters, then you won't have to step through every assignment, which could be thousands in applications.
