There are going to be a number of stumbling blocks to get this working, 
outside of SWT and other Eclipse-centric things: Apple's GDB patches have 
never been incorperated into mainline GDB sources, so mainline GDB will 
not work with X at all (in fact, I don't even think that mainline knows 
how to build for a MacOS X target).

That aside, the version of MI that is going to be used with Eclispe is 
based on mainline sources and will be incompatible with what Apple has in 
their version of GDB.

Now, if Apple 'updates' to 5.2.x, then you've got a fighting chance!
