I don't know much about Eclipse (I just downloaded it to try out pydev), bu=

I thought it was supposed to be a pretty generic IDE backbone.  If that's
the case then you'd think they'd be interested in providing good core
support for the many dynamic interpreted languages that are out there.  The
features you want (and we users are asking for) are the same ones one would
want in a debugger for any interpreted language, perl, ruby, python, etc.  =

can't imagine that the Eclipse developers would refuse to add a few API
hooks here and there if it makes support for those languages better.

Or is it more like a generic backbone in theory, but in practice all the
developers are mostly Java users, so that's all any of them care about
supporting?
