'Is there any way to save breakpoints in IntelliJ and restore later?

Can I define a set of breakpoints, and save this definition in IntelliJ and restore later on?

Like I have breakpoints at line 40 and 50 for Class A. Can I save them, and later restore in any way?

You cannot save/restore breakpoints in IntelliJ, but if you want to work with different "groups" of breakpoints in different situations without having to enable/disable or delete them one by one, you can do that in the current version (IDEA 2016.3.1).

You can create named groups of breakpoints and enable/disable them as a group with a single click. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/working-with-groups-of-breakpoints.html

You can find all breakpoints in project-dir/.idea/workspace.xml -> <component name="DebuggerManager">. You can save their manually.

This feature is currently not available (not even in Intellij Cardea EAP).

However, there is an IDEA feature request up for this: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-15540.

Want to up-vote the feature request ?

On Android studio you can select multiple break points -> Right click -> Move to group -> new breakpoint group.

After this you can enable/disable entire group just like importing previously saved breakpoints.

Since year 2021 you can do it by IDEA plugin Breakpoint Manager.

In ver14 component name is XDebuggerManager.

You must be careful about the breakpoint url, especially the path must have variable $PROJECT_DIR$ .
