Re: [platform-debug-dev] Standalone debug

["Darin Wright" <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx>]

I see stand alone debugging as an enhancement - it was never on the radar for 2.0. It just so happened that certain ehancements we made (such as source lookup in external zips/files), that made stand alone debugging more possible. We never intended the Java debugger to be used as a stand alone debugger - but there are just enough features available that it is (almost) possible. Thus, I see this as more "feature" work to enhance the current support into full fledged stand alone debugging. This also requires feature work from JDT-UI (support for breakpoints/rulers in Java editor for external files).

Since there has been a request for better support for stand alone debugging from a third party, we will investigate what needs to be done. We would need a committment from JDT-UI as well, before we could declare this as a 2.1 feature. Thus, I am declaring it as "open for investigation in 2.1".

It is unclear if the standalone debugging issue is seen as a 2.1 issue or a
3.0 issue.  What is the general consensus?

My gut feels is that the standalone debugging issue is a 2.1 issue because
it feels more like a bug fix and less like an enhancement.
