I also thought the (debugger) tutorial is fantastic. Unfortunately, I was hoping to see much more advanced material. Personally, I'm currently stuck with Eclipse telling me I've got a deadlock (all the nice red highlighting), and telling me the main thread is owning an object.. but nowhere in main's stack frame can I see any place where that object gets locked. The owned object also has an "id" that I can not trace to anything.. and it's especially those object IDs that I would like to see clarified. Like is there *anything* in the debugger that lets me browse these ids/objects? Given that they're apparently assigned in chronological order, maybe seeing the just before and just after "neighbours" of this mystery owned object may give me the clue to unlock (no pun) the situation..

  Hi. I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. For advanced questions, I would try the Eclipse newsgroups. The JDT group is very active and there are folks there who know this stuff in great depth. Good luck. Mark
