{{JSDT-Debug}}

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 [http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/debug/platform/ platform] and 
[http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/debug/jdt/ JDT debugger] to allow a smooth transition and ease of use for the JSDT debugger.

Currently we have debugging support for [http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/debugger.html Rhino] and an incubation version of 
[http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Crossfire Crossfire] / [http://getfirebug.com/ Firebug] support.

== Bundles ==

The entire JSDT debugger is comprised of several bundles:

*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core] - contains the JSDI specification and debug model elements.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/development/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.crossfire/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.crossfire] (incubation) - contains a Crossfire implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/development/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.chrome/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.chrome] (incubation) - contains a Google Chrome implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/development/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.node/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.node] (incubation) - contains a Node.js implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/development/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.opera/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.opera] (incubation) - contains an Opera implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/development/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ie.debugger/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ie.debugger] (incubation) - contains a Internet Explorer implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino] - contains a Rhino implementation of the debugger.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.debugger/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.debugger] - contains the Rhino debug hooks to connect to the Rhino interpreter.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.ui] - contains Rhino-specific user interface bits
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.transport/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.transport] - remote communication bundle, providing socket and JSON level communication utilities
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ui/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.ui] - contains the shared UI presentation for the debugger implementations.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core.tests/?root=WebTools_Project org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.core.tests] - contains related test cases for the debug core.
*[http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jsdt/tests/org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.debug.rhino.tests/?root=WebTools_Project 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 [[Media:Jsdt-debug.psf|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 [[/JavaScript_Debug_Interface|JSDI]] can be found [[/JavaScript_Debug_Interface|here]].
