[news.eclipse.platform] Source lookup in a custom debugger

[arthur.leatherman@xxxxxxxxx (Arthur Leatherman)]

Hi all,

For one of my projects I'm interested in being able to run a debug session
without source lookup in my custom debugger. This may sound odd at first,
but it's really part of some automated debugging "logic".

There are two issues I'm facing. One is that Eclipse is trying to lookup
the source code whenever it hits a breakpoint. I would like to disable
that, but not in a way that would present some kind of error.

The other is that whenever I programmatically control the target (resume,
suspend, etc.) the GUI is responding by updating the buttons, display,
and so on, which I'd like to avoid.

Is any of that possible? can I run a debug session "in the background"?
can I temporarily disable source lookup?

Thanks! :)
