Re: [cdt-dev] How to write plugin to add debugger

Title: C/C++ Debugger Page

Hi Alexander,

You have two options. The first option is to use "org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.CDebugger" extension point to contribute your debugger and " org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui.CDebuggerPage" extension point to contribute the UI components to the launch configuration dialog. In this case your debugger will appear in the "Debugger" drop down menu. For examples see the plugin.xml files of org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core and org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.ui plug-ins.
The second option is to write your own launch configuration and implement all necessary UI components to start your debugger. This option definitely requires more efforts.
In both cases you would need to extend the existing implementation.

Mikhail
