[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Debugging precompiled Java source

[Sacha Mallais<sacha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I'm using an Ant task and builder to precompile my Java source.

The problem appears to be that, while my Java source is on the build
path, the precompiled source is not, so things like breakpoints and
evaluation don't work.
It seems like I want both the original source and the precompiled source
on the build path, but that doesn't work: it complains about duplicate
classes.  A collegue also wrote a plugin that automatically switches the
build path to include the precompiled source and exclude the orginal
source, but this not ideal.
Is there a better way to be able to debug precompiled source?

I'm using Eclipse 3.0.2 on OS X 10.3.9.

Cheers,
