See:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE -intro.html

It talks about plugin development, including debugging a runtime workbench.

Thank you Rich!

What we really need is some instructions about how to
debug the source code Eclipse 3.0 M8

On the Download page there are detail instructions about how
to Build it. But nothing(as I can see) about how to
Load the source into a debugger, Maybe Eclips debugger.

Do actually need to build the Eclipse from source? Or do you just want
to debug into Eclipse to test one of your plugins. Because if you don't
need to actually build the source, then the instructions pointed to are
sufficient. The SDK build has the source packaged in it and the PDE
understands this. So if you import a plugin as binary with linked
content into your workspace from the target Eclipse, the source will be
attached automatically and will be available.

"Do actually need to build the Eclipse from source"

Yes that's absolutely right. We want to test some
modefications on the core Eclipse source. This
modefications are not really neccesary and
just for testing purpose under school project.

It should still be ok because you are working in plugin development
mode. You have imported the source into a workspace as a source plugin
project. So using launch runtime workbench will use that source plugin
in the workbench that is launched.

could you elaborate a bit how this is done?
Explain it to me as if I was four years old, Thanks! :))
We have tried this approach and have problems!

Before you try to develop Eclipse code itself, have you tried just
developing a plugin on top of the base? The basics for developing a
simple plugin should give you enough insight to handle most of the
Eclipse base itself. It would be better to tackle all of this with a
simple plugin before you try doing something as complex as all of Eclipse.
