Once jdktools building problems and several JVMTI issues had been fixed, I created local snapshot of Harmony JDK (using federated build) and tested it with Eclipse debugger. It appeared working well on both 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.
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. 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. 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. Thanks. Ivan Intel Enterprise Solutions Software Division
