   Often, when debugging, I hit a breakpoint, but I'd like to know what is 
going to happen later, when the method call returns. Stepping out, is an 
option, but not really pleasant when there is a deep stack in between top place 
and the desired frame. NetBeans already supports _method breakpoint_ - just 
placing it is huge pane. This PR simplifies that by adding _Add breakpoint..._ 
action to each `CallStackFrame`:

with pre-filled class and method names:

   all one needs to do is to fill for example condition `n == 4` and press OK. 
When the execution continues, it stops in the desired frame.
   
   This is particularly useful when debugging application without a source 
code, or written in a different language than Java.
