[news.eclipse.dsdp] Interaction between perspectives.

[Ramesh Ramaiyer <rramesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
We are working on a SoC with three distinct cores. Each of these cores 
have their own debuggers. Very soon they live under Eclipse. The 
expectation from developers is that they should be able to debug the 
interactions between these cores as well.

This implies that interaction between Perspectives should be possible. 
Under the current implementation each debugger has its own perspective. 
 An example usecase might be - when a break point is hit on one core, 
the other two stopping (ASAP). Another might be the ability to place 
breakpoints on programs running on any of the cores.

In my mind these usecases are similar to, some one stepping through a 
piece of java code which makes a JNI call. If the JNI is written in C++, 
is it possible to automatically invoke C++ perspective and switch to that?

I don't know if such a support is already present. Can you point me in 
the right direction please?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Ramesh
