It's a good start :-)  Testing with non-java platforms is a bit nebulous 
at the moment since it'll be good to know the exact configuration in 
order to reproduce any problems.  Maybe in future test cycles we can add 
the exact configuration we're testing with. 

One problem I have with testing with CDT or DSF is that I'm doing more 
testing of those components rather than the platform features.  One way 
to get around this is to implement those features in a dedicated test 
debugger integration, such as PDA... though that could get pretty expensive.

Cheers,
Pawel
