The JSDT debug project brings a variety of JavaScript debugging support to the JSDT using a common UI and communicating using a common protocol - JavaScript Debug Interface (JSDI). The common interface for the debugger emulates that of the platform and JDT debugger to allow a smooth transition and ease of use for the JSDT debugger.
Currently we have debugging support for Rhino and an incubation version of Crossfire / Firebug support.
Bundles
The entire JSDT debugger is comprised of several bundles:
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core - contains the JSDI specification and debug model elements.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.crossfire (incubation) - contains a Crossfire implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.chrome (incubation) - contains a Google Chrome implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.node (incubation) - contains a Node.js implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.opera (incubation) - contains an Opera implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ie.debugger (incubation) - contains a Internet Explorer implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino - contains a Rhino implementation of the debugger.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.debugger - contains the Rhino debug hooks to connect to the Rhino interpreter.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui - contains Rhino-specific user interface bits
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.transport - remote communication bundle, providing socket and JSON level communication utilities
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ui - contains the shared UI presentation for the debugger implementations.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core.tests - contains related test cases for the debug core.
- org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.tests - contains Rhino specific tests.
All of the bundles required for development of the JSDT debugger can be acquired using the team project set file here.
Planning
JSDT Debug follows directly the project plan for JSDT.
Development
JavaScript Debug Interface (JSDI)
The JSDI is used to provide a common way for our models and UI to communicate with a variety of debugger back-ends - write one UI + model and provide additional debuggers. The complete specification for the JSDI can be found here.
