Debugging the platform itself [message #313294]

Hi there,

I want to know how is it possible to debug the eclipse framework itself
within eclipse.

More precisely I want to develop an eclipse forms based editor (a
multipage editor with a form view and a XML view) very similar to the
Eclipse PDE editor. So I want to debug this PDE editor step by step so I
can understand how does it work.

Thank you all

It is pretty easy:

1. Import plugins you want to debug (Import -> Plugin Development ->
Plugins and Fragments).

2. Set up breakpoints.

3. Launch the new eclipse using Run -> Eclipse application.

4. Enjoy debugging

or... find a good tutorial about your problem ;).

Regards,
Chris
