/**
 * A toggle breakpoints target factory creates one or more toggle breakpoint 
 * targets.  The toggle breakpoints targets are used by toggle breakpoint actions
 * to create breakpoints appropriate for the active editor, debug session, project, 
 * or selection.
 *  
 * <p>
 * Toggle breakpoints target factories are contributed via the 
 * <code>org.eclipse.debug.ui.toggleBreakpointsTargetFactories</code>
 * extension point. Following is an example of a detail pane factory extension:
 * <pre>
 * &lt;extension point="org.eclipse.debug.ui.toggleBreakpointsTargetFactories"&gt;
 *    &lt;toggleTargetFactory
 *            id="com.example.ExampleBreakpointToggleTargetFactory"
 *            class="com.example.BreakpointToggleTargetFactory"&gt;
 *        &lt;enablement&gt;
 *           &lt;!-- Test the active debug context.  Enable only if the active context
 *                is an element from "Example" debugger, or if there is no debug context 
 *                associated with the context element.  Also enable if debug context is
 *                empty --&gt;
 *           &lt;with variable="debugContext"&gt;
 *              &lt;iterate&gt;
 *               &lt;or&gt;
 *                  &lt;test property="org.eclipse.debug.ui.getModelIdentifier" value="com.example.model"/&gt;
 *                  &lt;test property="org.eclipse.debug.ui.getModelIdentifier" value=""/&gt;
 *               &lt;/or&gt;
 *           &lt;/iterate&gt;
 *           &lt;/with&gt;
 *           &lt;!-- If there is no active debug context.  Enable the breakpoint toggle for 
 *                the "Example" editors --&gt;
 *           &lt;instanceof value="com.example.Editor"/&gt;
 *        &lt;/enablement&gt;
 *    &lt;/toggleTargetFactory&gt;
 * &lt;/extension&gt;
 * </pre>
