[news.eclipse.technology] Extending the debugger

[Mads Brogger Enevoldsen <brogger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I've written an eclipse editor plug-in and it is now possible to edit,
compile and run BETA programs in my BETA editor.

In a related project group the BETA compiler has been ported to Java
bytecode - so from BETA source code Java bytecode is generated. The
bytecodes are generated with enough information to use the jdb tool to
step around in the BETA source.

I would very much like to use the Java debugger on my BETA files. So my
question is: Is it possible to extend the Eclipse Java debugger plug-in
and let it be a part of my BETA editor? Or are there any related pages
or projects?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mads

PS. Please tell me if this question is formulated in a bad way, and I'll
try to imporve...
