/**
 * A breakpoint organizer is used to categorize breakpoints and provides
 * change notification when categorization has changed. Categories are represented
 * as arbitrary adaptable objects. For example, projects could be used to
 * categorize breakpoints. Images and labels for categories are generated
 * via workbench adapaters.
 * <p>
 * Organizers may optionally support breakpoint recategorization. 
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Following is example plug-in XML for contributing a breakpoint organizer.

 *      label="Example Organizer"
 *      icon="icons/full/obj16/example_org.gif"/&gt;
 * &lt;/extension&gt;
 * </pre>
 * The attributes are specified as follows:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>class</code> Fully qualified name of a Java class that implements
 * {@link IBreakpointOrganizerDelegate}.</li>
 * <li><code>id</code> Unique identifier for this breakpoint organizer.</li>
 * <li><code>label</code> Label for this organizer which is suitable for
 * presentation to the user.</li>
 * <li><code>icon</code> Optional path to an icon which can be shown for this
 * organizer</li>
