Re: [cdt-debug-dev] RE: [cdt-dev] Windows Debug API - CDI Implementation

It's a bit of chicken and egg, no? First we need to build the debugger. 
Right now, printf is my friend. Once we have the debugger in place, we 
should be able attach to a running Java VM and debug any native libraries. 
Once we get that far, we can look at tighter integration between the Java 
debuggers (i.e. JVMDI and friends) and our CDT debuggers.

One thing I have found, it is pretty handy having a good development 
environment for writing native libraries when building apps based on 
Eclipse. Java is great, for certain things...

+1 from me

Question:  What exactly is your setup of mixing C/C++ and Java and
debugging them both?

I'm guessing that the reason you're cooking this up is that you have a
Java project which is using JNI and you want to debug the calls into the
native code...
