JDK-4242717 - JDI/JDWP Spec: Add watchpoints for local variables and array elements
Description
Often users would want to filter events on specific instances.
See for example RFE#4242717 "Watchpoints need enhancement".
We, however, want a more general solution that applies to all
events and is in keeping with the filter model.  Add:

    void addInstanceFilter(ObjectReference instance);

To all requests where it is appropriate (ie. where there is
an instance)

EVALUATION This is useful functionality. Add it to: watchpoint, breakpoint, step, method entry/exit, and exception requests. Note implementing this requires additions to the back-end, the JDWP protocol, to front-end, and the JDI interface. robert.field@Eng 2000-02-15
