Debugging BIRT Source (2.6.0) [message #882642]

All,
I've downloaded the BIRT Source for 2.6.0 and would like to import it into my project so I can set a few break points and diagnose a NPE I am getting in the ObjectWriter. Can anyone shed some light on how to set up this plugin source to run in debug, or point me to an online resource explaining how?

Thanks for any information you can share.

Boyd,

If you already have the source built, you should be able to create a
debug configuration to launch eclipse and then in the debug eclipse
instance just create and run your report as normal. Make sure to set
the arguments for the jvm to include -XX:MaxPermSize=256M. See attached
screenshot.

Thanks, Jason,
I've been able to get the plug-in source fully imported and have it running in debug now. I appreciate the help!

It turns out that I don't seem to have things set up properly to fully debug BIRT. It appears to be running from the distribution jar and just referencing the code I imported when it breaks in debug.

I tried adding a separate plug in project to my environment and importing the source there and I am getting some schema related errors indicating "Referenced element 'enablement' is not defined".

Are there any general instructions around anyone is aware of for how to set up a plugin generally, or BIRT specifically, for debugging?

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
