What about a "come back to this point" button?

I have some code that looks like this:

Instance.method(3rdPartyInstance.getMethod());

The stuff in bold is from a 3rd party, and I don't have the source.

I want to be able to step into the Instance's method, but when I try it
attempts to step into 3rdPartyInstance's getMethod for which there is no
source.  Then the debugger is lost.  I can sometimes use the step out of
frame button to get it back to my line, but not always.

I could set a breakpoint inside the method (but that seems to be a tedious
thing to do every time this kind of thing occurs), or I could change the
code to call 3rdPartyInstance.getMethod before calling Instance.method (but
then I am writing code for the debugger).

I would be glad to help code this kind of thing (if it is even possible),
but I know very little about the JPDA.  Can this be done?
