Re: [platform-debug-dev] Settings breakpoints in src outside of a projec

Currently, you can only create breakpoints in compilation units and class files that are on the buildpath of a Java project. Thus, your conclusion is correct - you need to add the source trees to the project and compile them.

There is a feature request to allow breakpoints to be set in external source, but it was not addressed in 2.1

Hi,

I've been trying to move to M5 from another IDE and have become accustomed to most of the features of eclipse that I use often. However, I am stuck on a problem while trying to setting a breakpoint on a source file within a jakarta project.. What is the best method of doing this, since by default its not in my current Java project? I've pointed the debug project to the various source trees within the project for stepping through code, etc., but since I can't load a source file from outside my current project, I'm not quite sure the best approach. Should I add the various source trees into my project and have it compile it as part of my project simply to allow the debugger to become aware of these files and allow breakpoints to be set? Or, is there another preferred way of doing it?

Best Regards,
James
