Hi, I`m wondering if anyone have experience debugging the eclipse platform? By this I mean starting up an eclipse instance from a project inside another eclipse workspace. Is this possible?
I want to be able to debug and possibly fix some bugs (in plugins) that I encounter while I develop. I`ve got little experience in open source contribution, but I can`t see how I could contribute effectively if I can`t debug the whole plattform......?
Anyone have something to share on this?

Hi,
I suggest that you first have a look at the source code of eclipse.
See here how you can access easily the source:

That's certainly possible, Eclipse has a set of tools to develop plug-ins for Eclipse itself or for Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform) applications. Have a look at this Eclipse RCP tutorial, for example.

I guess I should just get the source as suggested and try it out and see if I get some problems, rather than taking them in advance.
