You should check out past EclipseCon debug tutorials available at the 
following link. There are modules on source lookup/display.

        http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/debug/documents.php

 
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/debug/documents/ec_2008/Debug_Tutorial_Basic_2008.ppt

Basically, an ILaunch provides an ISourceLocator. When a stack frame is 
selected, source lookup is performed by the ISourceLocator, and the result 
is displayed in an editor using the IDebugModelPresentation 
(getEditorId(..), getEditorInput(..)). The editor is positioned and an 
instruction pointer is inserted based on the stack frame's line number and 
char start/end values.

Sounds like the equals/hashcode of your objects is colliding - i.e. they 
are equal when they should not be.
