Thanks Ernest.  That would explain things.

So from a user perspective, only edit in the Java perspective, and never
the Debug perspective (until the next release).  Is this correct?

When you build a Jess project, Eclipse copies the .clp files into your
output directory, and its those output files that are actually executed
when you run under the debugger. When a process stops at a breakpoint,
the JessDE debugger shows you your location in those output files, not
in the source files. I see now that this is a terrible mistake, because
I suspect what's happening here is that you're editing those output
files, and the build process is copying the source versions back over
them.

The debugger source locator should instead always show locations in
source files, not in the output files. I'll be sure to change this
behavior in the next release. For now, please be careful to only edit
the files in your source directories, not the (expendable!) output
files.
