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. Tom
