Re: [pde-dev] Source Lookup Path for Eclipse application

[Wassim Melhem <wassimm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vitaly,

The standard Java source lookup (that came via that source tab you miss)
was not appropriate for Eclipse applications.

It was both inaccurate and inefficient, so PDE started using its own source
lookup as of 3.2 that uses the OSGi classloaders to pinpoint accurately the
associated source code.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106212

Unfortunately, as a side effect, your scenario, which mixes cdt debugging
with jdt debugging, was affected.

On the one hand, there is no turning back to the old source tab.  On the
other hand, we have a 'no developer left behind' policy :) no matter how
uncommon their scenario may be.

So if you could summarize a minimal set of what you need to support your
scenario and open a new enhancement bug report against pde/ui,
we could see if we could add a new tab with minimal functionality to the
launch configuration that adds additional source locations to the lookup
path.

Wassim.

Hi,

Debugging my plugin which uses JDT and CDT functionalities, I need to
step into JDT and CDT classes. There are no problems with JDT,
probably, due to its sources are placed in default Source lookup path.
But I am not able to step into CDT's classes under Eclise >=3.2

In Eclipse 3.1 there was the "Source" tabsheet for the "Eclipse
application" run configuration where any additional paths could be
defined. But this configuration does not contain such tabsheet in
Eclise 3.2 and higher. Is it a bug?

If "no": How can I define additional source lookup paths for the
"Eclipse application" run configuration in Eclipse 3.2, 3.3?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
Vitaly Provodin
