Research direction

Start by reproducing the lambda breakpoint mismatch with the Gradle build server and compare the JDT method name with the JDI method name. Investigate how lambda method names are computed for large files; done means breakpoints resolve despite the differing classMethodName$lambda$# names.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ai-triaged enhancement

When using gradle build server, the lambda method name tends to change on large file which I'm not sure of the reason which I have not looked into Java Language Spec on how lambda method names are computed.

What was observed is the method name has the format classMethodName$lambda$#. This cause method name mismatches due to the JDT method name and JDI method name is different.
