[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Question about using the internal debugger

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A few questions to help diagnose this...

a) what version of PDT are you using?
b) what version of WTP?
c) what version of Eclipse?

Good combinations of the above are: 1.0.x, 2.0.x, 3.3.x. No idea if this 
debugger works for PDT 1.1.x, WTP 3.0.x & Eclipse 3.4.x.

d) did you also install the matching feature jar? And by install, I mean 
"unpack the jar so its contents appear in a subfolder in 
eclipse/features/?" Did you also grab the other link-numbered plugin(s)?

http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/plugins/org.zend.php.debug.debugger_5.2.10.v20070905.jar
http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/plugins/org.zend.php.debug.debugger.linux.x86_64_5.2.10.v20070905.jar
http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/features/org.zend.php.debug_feature_5.2.10.v20070905.jar

Looks like you'll also have to download and unpack the debugger plugin 
jar. Not sure about the linux fragment jar (the one you downloaded -- 
it's just a "fragment" which means it only contains OS-specific code, 
but not the actual runtime stuff).

This downloading and unpacking stuff should all be done for you 
automatically if you give the site.xml URL to Eclipse's Update Manager 
(Eclipse 3.3 and earlier) or the new p2 Install Manager (in Eclipse 3.4).

Here's my blog entry on this subject:

Good luck!
