JRuby debugging and debug gems [message #536790]

Hi,

JRuby has a nice debug gem
(http://kenai.com/projects/jruby/pages/UsingTheJRubyDebugger) that is
used by intellij and netbeans for debug support in the IDE.

I'm looking to enhance dltk to use this debugger, and realized that dltk
uses a ruby based debugger that works with jruby as well (slow as hell,
but works).

Would the DLTK team be interested in using a standard gem that other
IDEs use for debugging instead of home grown debugging scripts?

Also is there any code I could look at to implement this kind of
functionality ?

Thanks!

Hi Ketan,

DLTK already uses that gem for ruby debugging, but it was not available for jruby when ruby debug was initially implemented.
That's why there is a test in org.eclipse.dltk.ruby.fastdebugger.FastDebuggerRunner.addEng ineConfig() to stop if running under jruby.

You can try to remove it and see if it works.
Probably it requires some changes for jruby and ruby 1.9 as well.
It would be great if you can help with it.

Thank you,
Alex
