Essentially once you follow the instructions below, if you Debug As
=> Eclipse Application (I think this is a 3.1 term -- I think it used
to be called Runtime Workbench, but I'm assuming you're 3.1), you
will launch a second Eclipse that will contain all the plugins that
exist in your workspace (in particular, the wolips ones) and will
allow you to do all the fun things like hot code replacement for code
in the running plugins. It's pretty sweet ...
Incidentally, I have not yet worked out the instructions for building
a binary release of WOLips from Eclipse. I know from the commandline
you can just ant the build.xml in the projects folder and that seems
to work fine. I think I ran into a classpath problem with a velocity
ant task or something when I ran it from inside of eclipse, though (I
haven't spent any time looking into it all though, so it may be
something trivial).
Let me know if these instructions work for you and if they do then
I'll put them up on the Wiki.
