[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PDT 2.0, XDebug, and Remote Debugging

[Dave <dkel50@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How are you initiating the debug session ? Are you launching it from PDT 
or are you trying remote session initiation ?

If you are launching from PDT then PDT should create a path mapping for 
you unless you are trying to handle a special case. If you are can you 
post the path mapping for your server and the extra entries you are 
trying to add for that server.

If you are trying remote session initiation then you cannot provide 
explicit path mappings, remote session initiation doesn't try to find a 
defined server in PDT to get its path mappings. Everything is done on 
the fly and if the source cannot be located then you should be prompted 
with a dialog box to help select the file you want. You should ensure 
that a copy of the file does exist in your workspace.

Hope this helps
Dave Kelsey
