[jdt-debug-dev] Questions regarding Eclipse and debugging threads on an

["Burstrom, Stefan" <Stefan.Burstrom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I am trying to debug a java program running on a custom ME target (based on the Sun KVM RI)

However, when I run the program it appears that eclipse gets out of sync with the KVM regardint which

threads that are alive and which that are not.

 

I have done som debugging on my KVM side and I can see that a JDWP_EventKind_THREAD_END is

beeing generated and sent. I can also see that the KDP debug proxy is forwarding some kind of event

as soon as I step past the outStream_sendCommand call in the KVM (the call that sends the constructed

event). However, when I press the suspend button in Eclipse, eclips still lists this thread. Of course the

name isn't listed since the KVM complains when Eclipse tries to query the name. The same thing

seems to happen when threads start. Sometimes Eclipse wont list newly created threads when I press

suspend.

 

Has anyone seen anything like this? If I were to debug this in Eclipse, where would I start? I couldn't really

get a 'getting started' guide on how to work on eclipse plugins. Eg. how do I get the sources for the

3.2.1 release? Through CVS or are they available as tar balls too? The archives I could find didn't include

the .project etc. files.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

regards,

Stefan Burstrom
