First step would be to send your questions
to jdt-debug-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx or the forums: http://www.eclipse.org/forums

The mailing lists are generally used
to discuss issues around developing the component, so the forums are preferred.

As far as I know, the JDT debugger does
not have API to modify its use of the variables view.  The contents
of the variables view is determined by it's content provider (IElementContentProvider).
 The debug framework provides a default implementation that the JDT
debugger extends (JavaVariableContentProvider).

You shouldn't have to copy the required
classes out of the debug plug-ins.  Your plug-in should require the
appropriate jdt debug plug-ins.  As all classes in Eclipse plug-ins
are supported, all the classes are available to other plug-ins (though
*internal* packages are not API and you will get warnings in your code).

Hello,


I am trying to write my own exception breakpoint with very few changes
in JavaExceptionBreakpoint class. I m trying to catch any exceptions
raised and rollback back the changes made to its previous consitant state.
The only change made is calling my rollback method in handleBreakpointEvent()
method in JavaExceptionBreakpoint class.

To do this i want to extend the VariableView of Java Debug Plugin to include
one additional column to display my old values of variable and objects.
Currently in Variable view we have only 2 columns for Variable/Object names
and its current values. I also want to include one more column which display
its previous state values in the Variable view.

Currently I have just copied bunch all the required java classes into my
plugin. But I do not want to have a copies of these classes. 

Can any one let me know how to do it without have to copy the classes.
Is there any possiblity just to extend the debug plugin and have only those
which is required for rollback.


Thanks and Regards,
Girish_______________________________________________
