How to integrate ATG framework with eclipse so that i can run ATG application from eclipse and debug it using eclipse debugging plugins ? which development tools do you use when developing ATG application? Thanks in advance for any helps from you. Regards!

ATG support site does mention an ATG Eclipse plugin, (already developed and reported in 2003, and 2005).
You have to check the ATG supported environments though.

@VonC, thanks. Are you working with ATG framework currently?

Eclipse plugin is meant mostly for development tasks such as creating new module or providing snippets of code. It adds "ATG Nature" to the project which can e.g. show Nucleus components and configuration. IMHO, not as good as using ACC or /dyn/admin though - but available when ATG server is not running

Also, Eclipse plugin is pretty dated and prone to crashing ...

@Miro A. Yes, ACC is far more good than the plugins. But i found one thing that is not convenient when JBoss is not integrated with eclipse is every time you made a change in eclipse you have to run some kind Ant script or whatsoever to update the change to JBoss.

Best way would be start JBoss via external tool command using either usual run or adding 'startDynamoOnJBOss' script to external commands and make sure the JPDA is activated in run.conf or run.bat

After that, just connect with debugger to external Java process
