[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Debugging Facebook Applications using Eclipse

[Drawn <gtfperry@xxxxxxx>]

NetBeans can debug a FBML Facebook App and Eclipse can't?!

Say it isn't so!

Below is a helpful article in setting up an means to 'debug' a Facebook Application:

FB Series: Locally debug your PHP Facebook App

The author has been able to successfully issue breakpoints and debug a Facebook application using NetBeans 6.7.1.

He couldn't get it to work with Eclipse!    Booooooo!!!

Regrettably, I too have failed.   Boooooo!!!

My project is huge and so, when opening it in NetBeans, NetBeans is still running its "Scanning Projects" process, and it will be running for hours!

Essentially, making that IDE worthless to me!

Nope, Eclipse is my IDE, and I want to debug my Facebook application (Note: It uses FBML and not iFrame)!

Someone, please step up and get this to work for us!

Cheers.
