Re: [wtp-dev] JSP debugging

Andrew,
Most of the trickier parts of JSP debugging support are handled in JDT 
using the SMAP section of the .class files according to JSR045; I expect 
it would also apply to GSPs.

The editor's role in debugging within Eclipse involves providing a 
mechanism to set and edit breakpoints and showing the current line 
indicator.  For adding and removing breakpoints, we use our 
org.eclipse.jst.jsp.ui.internal.breakpointproviders.JavaStratumBreakpointProvider 
class.  The org.eclipse.jdt.ui.examples.javafamily project in the Eclipse 
CVS repository also has an example for that.  For editing breakpoints, the 
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.internal.debug.EditBreakpointAction class should 
work as-is.  The current line indicator should paint automatically if 
you're not doing anything unusual for your syntax coloring.
