How to Use Eclipse to Debug JNI code (Java & C/C++)

Question

While I can debug my application with the Eclipse JDT debugger for Java code and GDB for C code, I would prefer to use a single tool for all my debugging. I found several projects that enable "mixed-mode" debugging in Eclipse and include support for single stepping between Java and native code.

• Intel's Integrated Debugger for Java/JNI Environments
• Mariot Chauvin's Summer of Code Project: Support Seamless Debugging between JDT & CDT

Unfortunately, one claims to be pre-release quality and the other is currently unmaintained. Are there any plug-ins that bring mixed mode debugging functionality to Eclipse in a reliable way or should I continue to use two separate debuggers?

Answer 1

I don't think there is anything available today which will fix it, but I know that Doug Schaefer has this pretty high on his list of things he wants to get done. Keep an eye on his blog for updates on that.

Answer 2

Eclipse Sequoyah 1.0 has android ndk features..Eclipse 3.6 release train and 3.5 release early June.

Answer 3

This looks like it would be nice: http://www.eclipse.org/sequoyah/documentation/native_debug.php

It's not the default/recommended Google way of course.
