All,
I was wondering: is it possible to debug plugins at runtime; specifically,
plugins like Junit, Navigator, etc? The reason I ask is that I was checking
out Plugin Spy (alt-shift-F1) and thought it'd be sweet if I could, say, pop
up the resource navigator's code via the spy, set a breakpoint, and then
have those breakpoints catch so I can see what's going on under the hood.
Thinking out loud here... Thanks for ideas.

to clarify: I know I can achieve this by setting the breakpoint on the code
in the initial eclipse instance while launching a debug instance. That's not
what I'm talking about. Basically it seems to me that it'd be really handy
to be able to set the breakpoints from the plugin spy without having to
navigate through the "plugin references" tree looking for specific classes.
So.... I'm wondering if there's a convenience feature for doing so.
thanks.
