AW: [platform-debug-dev] Need info on -debug and .options usage

["Ploett, Norbert" <norbert.ploett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chethan,

 

if you want to debug an existing plug-in then you need to import it into your workspace, set your breakpoints and then launch another eclipse instance from this base instance ( and not from the command line as you seem to have done).

 

The following article http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE-intro.html , section Testing the Plug-in, describes a little more about the mechanics behind the scenes. For details about launch configurations you may also want to look at http://127.0.0.1:61605/help/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/pde_running.htm PDE Guide / Getting started / Basic Plug-in  Tutorial / Running a plug-in in the online help topics.

 

Hope this helps

 

 

Norbert

Betreff: [platform-debug-dev] Need info on -debug and .options usage

Hello,

            I need to launch eclipse in debug mode and want to put breakpoint for the below eclipse class

org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.actions.OpenWorkspaceAction.java ==è Line # 122 or method (private String buildCommandLine(String workspace)). I tried launching eclipse in debug mode with command “eclipise.exe – debug “. But the control did not stop @my breakpoint on the desired operation (Switch WorkSpace). I could not make out the usage from below eclipse help doc. Could anybody explain with example and the format/contents of “.options” file.

 

Eclipse doc

 

-debug [options file] (OSGi)

equivalent to setting osgi.debug to [options file] or the empty string to simply enable debug (i.e., if the options file location is not specified)

 

Thanks in advance

Chethan
