[Pydev-users] [Users] RE: Remote Debugging and Remote System Explorer

Hi there, first let me say that I haven't actually used the remote system explorer
myself, so, I may be wrong on some answer -- but I do know PyDev pretty well :)

For the remote debugging, the way it's implemented right now, you do need to
have access to sources locally. I guess this could be done better if it knew
you're in the remote system explorer, but right now PyDev knows nothing about
this (so, you do need sources locally) -- so, unfortunately, right now, the
best advice I can give you is using pdb in this situation :(

I think PyDev could be improved so that the debugger asks for the source to
the remote backend if it can't find it (please open a feature request for that).

As for the 2nd question, the same goes here, as PyDev is oblivious of the remote
system explorer, it can't launch it (although maybe you could ask to the remote
system explorer guys if they have a way to make it work).

Cheers,

Fabio
