Hello,

I hope this question hasn't been asked too many times, but a search of
the archives with 'debug source' and 'debug parameters' didn't come up
with anything so I hope I'm not committing a faux pas.

I'm trying to step into ImageJ classes with the Eclipse debugger, only
to have the debugger tell me it can't find the source. I downloaded the
source for 1.43q, installed it in a different directory, added it to the
source path, linked the source path to the ij jar directly, but still no
dice. A user on the eclipse forums advised me to ask whether the imageJ
jar was built with debugging parameters included, so here I am. I'm
hoping someone on this list can either tell me whether the jar was built
as described, or better yet, someone who also uses Eclipse could explain
how to get it to see the ij source.

Thanks very much.
