Eclipse Debug Project

Debug Project Overview

The Eclipse Debug Project is not a single project unto itself, it is in fact comprised of two distinct sub-projects: Platform Debug and JDT Debug.

Platform Debug defines interfaces for a language independent debug model which abstract common debugging features of many languages, whereas, JDT Debug provides an implementation of platform debug providing Java debugging support and works with any JDPA-compliant target Java VM.

Both Platform and JDT Debug are built into Eclipse and ship as part of the Eclipse SDK.

Debug Components

As mentioned the Debug Project is broken down into two smaller sub-projects, each with its own set of committers, projects goals and plans, bug categories and mailing lists.

Name Description
Platform Debug The language independent debug model
JDT Debug The Java implementation of the platform debug component
