Well 0yvind, it is a good time to learn Eclipse/contribution/plugins 8-)

There are talks to provide a cdt-contrib spaces where all the usefull
plugins can be put.

The CDT debug plugin uses contributions to let other types of debugger
integrate.  It would be impossible to provide all the variations
of debuggers, and also a maintainance nightmare for the CDT/Debug team.

Hopefully other third parties or personnal contributions  will provide
different plugins for the debugger.
