eclipse as an inferior debugger?

eclipse as an inferior debugger?

[David L]

Is there a way to use the eclipse debugger as an
inferior debugger in emacs?  I've seen documentation
on using ddd as an inferior debugger, but ddd seems
unmaintained and some of my colleagues are
starting to use eclipse instead.

Thanks,

               David

All my colleagues use Ultraedit :)

I don't think it matters where you use it, eclipse will always
be an inferior debugger.

(Sorry, some straight lines are too hard to resist :-).

I'm not sure how this would work but usually configuration is done the other
way round, i.e. set Emacs to be the editor for the application with something
like:

export EDITOR=/home/nickrob/emacs/lib-src/emacsclient

If you are debugging C/C++ -- which your mention of DDD seems to imply
-- then Eclipse is just using gdb under the hood, the same as Emacs.
In this case you might try the new gdba mode, which is supposed to be
a bit more GUI-like.  (I still haven't tried it.. gotta do that
someday.)

If you're debugging Java then, no, AFAIK there's no way to use the
Eclipse debugger from Emacs.
