Re: [Dltk-dev] DBGp for Ruby

[Dmitriy Kovalev <kds@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Werner,

Thanks for your interest in DLTK!
Our framework has a support of DBGP protocol. We use it now with TCL. 
Out implementation is language-independent and theoretically can be used 
with any language. You can see "org.eclipse.dltk.dbgp" package for details.

It's very interesting to know that you already have an implementation of 
DBGP on ruby side. I think it would be great if we can test how your 
library works with our Java code. We can add some changes in DLTK-Ruby 
for testing of your library. It allows to fix protocol-related bugs in 
both implementations. Do you like this idea?

In general, you can put Ruby-code in any separate plug-in that has Java 
interface for starting/stopping of the debugging engine. For more 
information about how the debugging process (and configuration) is 
organized with TCL please see http://www.eclipsedltk.org/node/87

Kind regards,
Dmitriy Kovalev
