Want to try and fix a bug but at a loss as to how to proceed [message #178190]

There's an annoying bug with content assist that I want to try and find a fix for. I downloaded the sources for 2.1.3, loaded it into a project and built it according to the instructions. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to run the newly built IDE in the debugger. I can't create an a runnable app since the main is inside startup.jar. I can't even navigate through the source
files since the java files are not listed as java resources.

I poked around the articles and newsgroups and didn't find any sort of HowTo guide on this subject. I'm guessing I should be able to debug the content assist just as I would any other plugin but
I'm guessing that won't work with the current setup since it does not view that as a plugin project (but just as part of the larger "simple" project I created per instructions.html).

I don't like asking to be spoon fed but if someone could just get me started down the right path (either point me at a HowTo or with explicit instructions) I can spend my time on the bug rather than trying to figure this out.

Thanks for any help!

What you want is to run/debug a Runtime-workbench.
It will use the code in your workspace as a base for your "new" eclipse.

These are the instructions for how we develop and debug for the Eclipse
Debug team.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -debug-home/project/workspace.html

BTW you are likely going to want to do your work against the 3.0 stream
unless this has been flagged as a critical bug fix.
Otherwise it is unlikely that the fix could be as easily provided back to
the Eclipse community through an contribution.
You have logged a bug report and indicated that you would like to help fix
the problem (and ensured that a fix has not already been found in the 3.0
stream)?
