Hi James,
The F12 developer tools are part of IE, not of its embeddable control,
so this won't work in the context of eclipse.
Perhaps Firebug lite could help you here? I believe that it can run in
the context of an IE-based Browser.

I see it's been only a few days and there are no replies in this forum. Sadly, I also cannot help but I'm having the same need (use IE9 Developer Tools in an IE embedded via SWT) and was wondering whether you might have found a way to do this yet.
Regards,
Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang,
Apologies, I've been on vacation and have only just returned to find your message. I am still currently investigating this however I think things don't look too positive. I'll update this post in the event I do find something.
Konstantin and Grant, thanks for your replies. Unfortunately one of the requirements of what I'm trying to do is that a user will be able to enter some Javascript and then run that script (with the host application injecting in certain objects). I want the user to then be able to debug their script. Using CEF in the C++ world, this was made possible via the user of the Chrome Developer Tools. It's proving tricky in the Java world however!
I'll keep investigating, thanks.
James
