Spoke too soon in my last message. I'm still having problems and have 
tried to configure this several different ways.

I am able to start JBoss in the debugger, pausing it before the first 
line of code in org.jboss.Main.main(), and am able to set breakpoints in 
Main and other classes in JBoss' run.jar.

I can also single-step into other classes, and their source files are 
displayed appropriately, and both local and instance variables are 
displayed while I single-step. The problem is that I cannot add 
breakpoints to these classes -- in fact the left-sidebar is missing from 
the editor window in the Debugger Perspective for these non run.jar 
classes. A difference that I see is that the classes for which I can set 
breakpoints (e.g. Main) are displayed in the editor with the .class 
extension, whereas classes for which I cannot set breakpoints (e.g. 
ServerImpl) are displayed in the editor with the .java extension.

I have tried various configurations in the source tab of the launcher.

1. Added all JAR files containing JBoss class files, and each JAR file 
has a source attachment with all-sources.zip (all JBoss sources).

2. Added all JAR files containing JBoss class files, and only run.jar 
has all-sources.zip attached.

3. Added only all-sources.zip as an "external JAR" file in the source tab.

This is really starting to chew up time. I would really appreciate some 
help.

Thanks very much,

Rick
