I'm writing a Java interface to a 3rd party CAD system. This will
facilitate modifications to model dimensions within their 3D environment.
I want to write my interface code in Eclipse, with (ideally) its debugging
process booting-up the CAD system so I can check message-passing. I assume
that somewhere within Eclipse's debug configuration I can set a path to
the CAD system .exe file. Is this possible? Where/how can I do this?

Some clarification...
I'm using a CAD system (not written in Java) that allows synchronous Java
applications to interface with it. The CAD system remains a parent to
these interfacing Java applications, which are initially detected and
started using its menus (i.e. closing the CAD system also closes the Java
process). I want to debug my Java app, which requires I take control of
the Java thread once it's been started by the CAD system. I guess this
requires some command-line style flag in the CAD system script that starts
the Java app. But what should that command be it order to start the Java
app in debug mode within the Eclipse IDE?

There are specific parameters to pass to the JVM in order to run it in
debug mode. You can Google for them. When the JVM is running in debug
mode, you can use Eclipse to attach to that running process; Eclipse
refers to this as "remote" debugging since the JVM is not running from
Eclipse itself. Search the Help for "remote application launch" for the
details setting it up.
Hope this helps,
Eric
