[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Debugging JBoss with Eclipse question

["Igor Fedorenko" <ifedorenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, JBoss 4.0 has .project and .classpath files and a launch configuration
so you can import it into Eclipse workspace and debug as (almost) any other
java project. Check this HOWTO
http://www.jboss.org/developers/guides/eclipse-howto/index.jsp. I also have
a set of .project/.classpath files for JBoss 3.2 but it is not as nice.
