Is there asm nop equivalent in java?

Question

When I program C/C++ with Visual Studio I often use __asm nop; command to insert a noop code in order to have something to break on. For instance:

I did not find a perfect solution for this, but here is the solution I like most. Probably not efficient but it lets you place a breakpoint, Eclipse does not complain or warns and from the code reader's point of view, it is obvious what you want to do.

// Silly method that allows me to make noop
private static void noop() {

}

public otherMethod() { 
    // Here I need breakpoint
    noop();
}

If I want to precondition breakpoint I place the condition before:

public otherMethod() { 
    // Here I need breakpoint
    if(someCondition())
        noop();
}
