Re: [ptp-user] Remote Tools search path for the "java" executable

[Rodrigo Fraxino Araujo <rfaraujo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Greg,

I've opened up the bugs as you requested. Actually there are three
issues that could be less restrictive for what I am trying to do:

1) It's not possible to specify the server-side java path of PTP;
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358124

2) It is possible to add new debbugers for SDM via an extension
point, but as you mentioned, we can't set a path for each one
of them, just a global one in "Window Preferences";
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360139

3) It is not possible to specify a default path of sdm binary in the
server-side in the "Debug Configuration";
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360290

Best regards,
Rodrigo.
