[eclipse 3.6] Antrunner is run on debug mode but cant watch variables [message #640781]

Hi Everybody,

I'm debugging my program using antrunner(Eclipse Application), tried both
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner, and org.eclipse.ant.ui.antRunner

in the arguments part i gave these :
-consoleLog -Dbasedir=D:\Progra~1\IzPack\src\izpack\izpack-compiler\src\ test\resources\samples
-buildfile
D:\Progra~1\IzPack\src\izpack\izpack-compiler\src\test\resou rces\samples\build.xml

when I ran without the buildfile switch I get invocation errors, but with
the switch i can breakpoint to my sourcode.
the problem is, when i try to watch variables the values i get for them is
"<error(s)_during_the_evaluation>"
inside the variable navigation tree you have the child "binding == null
forkind".

anybody can give me a hint as to whats going on?

regards,
Jo

Additional info:
When I try to inspect a variable, I get the error:
Unable to evaluate the selected expression:
To perform an evaluation, an expression must be compiled in the context of a
Java project's build path. The current execution context is not associated
with a Java project in the workspace.

The thing is..
I can't associate an Eclipse Application configuration with a specific
workspace..
so is there any work around it?

thanks a lot for any pointers..

nb:
basically my concern is how to be able to debug from an ant build file up to
the level of the java source code defining an ant taskdef in that build
file.

i could easily debug a build.xml (right clicking on the outline of the
build.xml>debug as>etc.etc..) script but it doesn't seem to be able to go
deeper to the java code.

so i took the route of debugging via the eclipse application
and then i was able to drill to the java code but then i stumbled on this
watch problem.

is this route a dead end?
any other route?

Found out the problem.
The source that made it to the breakpoint wasn't part of a java faceted
project.
