I need to set a break point in code that is handling an exception inside Froyo. I am using Eclipse and have built a local copy (not customized) of Froyo so it should line up for my device. Is there a way to tell ADB and/or Eclipse to load symbols so I can step into the code?

You probably want to download android-2.2-froyo-src.zip, there are a couple sites here that are mirroring it: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=979#c90

See how to use it here: http://android.opensourceror.org/2010/01/18/android-source/

I have not had a chance to follow-up on this ... I followed the path and it makes sense like it should work, however, I got side tracked to other priorities. I will try to award later this week.

Some of the references are just vague enough to provide a puzzling challenge, but I now have the source code to Froyo. Hopefully, when I have some time, I will add to this post the steps I took to clarify the existing information. -- Thanks @marc
