Once jdktools building problems and several JVMTI issues had been
fixed, I created local snapshot of Harmony JDK (using federated build)

Windows and Linux (IA32), so it is possible now to use Eclipse
debugger for debugging Java applications running on Harmony JRE. I
think we can add Eclipse JDT debugger to the list of supported
applications.
Woot!
Care to post some instructions for people - say on the wiki for now,
and we'll move to our site?
There are still several minor issues with full JDWP support, I've
submitted them to JIRA and will provide patches for JDWP agent. I
revealed also a couple of JVMTI problems in DRLVM implementation to be
submitted to JIRA. All this does not prevent one from using Eclipse
debugger for typical debug scenarios, because these problems usually
appear in specific cases.
I'd like also to improve jdktools build to enable building and running
JDWP unit tests and include these tests into regular testing process.
Thanks for the reminder. I didn't get those done when getting JDWP
into the jdktools. If you don't beat me to it, I'll get them
integrated.
And I agree, we need to get the tests integrated into the regular
process. Also, we should also start testing the other tools as
well. (Make sure javac does something useful, etc...)
This will check that JVMTI debug support is not broken with DRLVM
changes as it sometimes occur, but will probably require changing
testing infrastructure to use full JDK build instead of sole classlib
and/or DRLVM components. I'm going to work on this and would
appreciate any help.
Remember, changes to the testing infrastructure can be additive -
IOW, add a target for CC that does the JDK tools testing, using the
full JDK build, rather than changing it to be "instead of".
I've tested also Eclipse TPTP profiler and it appeared working well
with Harmony JRE in general, but currently is blocked by HARMONY-2905.
Will continue working on this.
Again, any simple how-tos on this would be magnificent...

Thanks.
