Eclipse debugging & 3rd party src code

[Susan]

Hi,

I'm using Eclipse 3.0.1 and I'm currently remotely debugging 3rd party source code. What I've found I've had to do is place the 3rd party source code in amongst my source code under my 'src' directory in eclipse - obviously this isnt ideal.

I've tried adding the 3rd party source code to the 'Source' tab in the Debug launcher (ie Run->Debug...), but then cant find a way of opening the 3rd party java files in eclipse so I can set a breakpoint?

If anybody has done this before, I'd appreciate a few pointers!


thanks,

Susan

When you refer to 3rd party source code, are you referring to .class files
or java files?

Vijay,

I'm referring to java source files. The way I'm currently doing it I can step into these source files, but I cant open them up in the eclipse editor prior to running the debugger and set breakpoints.


thanks,

If they are java source files, you should be able to open them
before starting the debugger.

Are you getting any error message while opening these java files??

Or perhaps, if you have a decompiler plugin for eclipse,
it must be decompiling the .class files to .java files
while debugging... (Just a guess...)
