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

[Richard Geddes <rich.geddes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

a) PDT 	1.0.2
b) WTP 	1.1.10x
c) Eclipse 3.3.2

I got the info for WTP and PDT from the "plugin details" window... I 
downloaded the standard Europa jee tarball from the Eclipse download 
webpage, untarred it, and made a launcher on my desktop that points to 
the eclipse executable.

d) I'm not certain about this one.  When I installed PDT, there were 2 
choices.  I checked both choices, and did the "Select Required" thing 
with all the choices expanded.  I did this through the "Software 
updates..." option, so no manual intervention.

the following folders are present: *php*

features/org.eclipse.php_feature_1.0.2.v20080102-79-7GE7QYGHNGPGY
features/org.eclipse.php_feature.source_1.0.2.v20080102-79-7GE7QYGHNGPGY
features/org.eclipse.php.sdk_feature_1.0.2.v20080102-2-384D2_RHATdIRZIZaq8RZHIOHQ

plugins/org.eclipse.php_feature.source_1.0.2.v20080102-79-7GE7QYGHNGPGY


the following jars are in the plugin folder: *php*
plugins/org.eclipse.php_1.0.2.v20080102.jar 
plugins/org.eclipse.php.help_1.0.2.v20080102.jar
plugins/org.eclipse.php.core_1.0.2.v20080102.jar 
plugins/org.eclipse.php.server.core_1.0.2.v20080102.jar
plugins/org.eclipse.php.debug.core_1.0.2.v20080102.jar

plugins/org.eclipse.php.debug.daemon_1.0.2.v20080102.jar 
plugins/org.eclipse.php.ui_1.0.2.v20080102.jar
plugins/org.eclipse.php.debug.ui_1.0.2.v20080102.jar 
plugins/org.zend.php.debug.debugger.linux.x86_64_5.2.10.v20070905.jar


Question: The frag jar file I downloaded contains OS specific stuff... 
does that mean that another jar file is required in addition to this 
one... there is another jar that seems to have no OS association:

org.zend.php.debug.debugger_5.2.10.v20070905.jar

I tried that... and now I have an entry in the "About Eclipse Platform 
Plug-ins" window that shows as:

Zend Debugger for Linux x86_64 (Fragment)

I guess that didn't move the ball far enough.

d) cont'd... for the Zend debugger I did not "unpack the jar..." not 
familiar with handling the "feature" when getting plug-ins into eclipse.

The URL I used for the remote site entry was:

http://downloads.zend.com/pdt

Eclipse said it found something... actually asked me to accept the 
license but when the down load started it reported a 404.

The error message was actually:
--------------------------------
Update operation has failed
  Error retrieving 
"plugins/org.zend.php.debug.debugger.linux.x86_64_0.0.0.jar". [Server 
returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL:

----------------------------------

The odd thing is eclipse is trying to retrieve 
org.zend.php.debug.debugger.linux.x86_64_0.0.0.jar

notice the 0's... there is no file on that URL with that name.

I'll read your blog, but if you could give some pointers to get me back 
to the tutorial it would be great.
