I'm not too sure of the rationale for using one over the other, but I ended up with `TestScaffold` because of the test I initially used as a template (BreakpointTest.java). `parseBreakpoints()` is only supported by `JdbTest`, so I would need to convert the test to extend it instead. I have no idea how disruptive this might be to the test.

It would require edits within the methods with the breakpoints, all of which are very simple and well commented, and there really is no reason to ever edit them in the first place. Also there are 8 other tests that are sensitive to line numbers (search for THIS TEST IS LINE NUMBER SENSITIVE), and they are at much greater risk (adding or removing a line anywhere before the breakpoint will break the test).

Ok. Thanks for the review!
