Dev: Easy way to debug plugins in eclipse?

[Mike Kienenberger]

Wyatt,

Have you figured out an easy way to debug a separate plugin project from Eclipse?

Right now, I still need to build the plugin jar, and then point Buddi at it.

[Wyatt]

Yep, there's way, assuming you have access to the plugin from Buddi's classpath in Eclipse (i.e., you add your Buddi-Plugins project to your Buddi project's classpath, by right clicking on Buddi project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Projects -> Add).  Just add the class name (including package) to the Const class, under the String array BUILT_IN_PLUGINS.  When I start Buddi, I look for any classes there when loading plugins.  (In fact, all the built in reports / graphs are technically 'plugins'; I just load them locally instead of from .jar).

Cheers
