Here is a better regexp -
(font-lock-add-keywords
'jde-mode
'(("^\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\(
\\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\(
\\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\(
\\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\(
\\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\( \\|....\\)\\(
\\|....\\)\\(..*\\)$" 21 'jde-bug-breakpoint-marker t)
)
)
Assumes a fill column of 80 and tab width of 4.
