I've been researching a solution to my problem for days now. Through
reflection I've created and loaded a class in my application. I would now
like the debugger to recognize the source file. Unfortunately I am not
familiar enough with eclipse to add the file through the api. My research
is telling me that I need to create a plugin and use the org.eclipse.debug
apis. Is this correct or is there a more straight forward way to add the
Source file path? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

You don't specify whether your application is a plain Java app or an RCP
application. If it is a Java application, you can use the Source tab of the
launch config to specify source lookup locations.

I think you've set me in the right direction. What I've done is to create
a simple plugin with a LaunchDelegate extension. In the launch function
I've created a reference to the launch configuration and put that
reference in a separate Data Object. What I'm having trouble with now is
accessing that Data Object from my Java App. What I hope to do is have my
Java app pass the source path of the java file into this data object which
will then add the source path to the launch configuration. I'm hoping
that when the debugger will then be able to recognize the source code when
hitting a break point.
