I am not sure we're talking about the same thing, but have you heard of JumpToCode ? It's a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that listens for "jump to this code" commands from external programs. Creating a similar plugin for eclipse is on my TODO list.
The idea is that log-viewers such as Vigilog and Chainsaw show hyperlinks for every LocationInfo. When hyperlink is clicked a "jump to code" command is sent to your IDE, which will navigate to the corresponding code.
This is already implemented in Vigilog. I still have to ask the chainsaw maintainers to see if they are also interested.
This is a very interesting thing, as I have asked the Eclipse folks the same thing a long time ago. Is there a way to communicate things back to Eclipse when running in a debugger and the answer was "no". It would be really nice to have. My only concern is if a fellow coworker decides to tease me, and start sending bogus requests. Is there a password mechanism or so? Otherwise an integration with the Eclipse plugin would be a good idea perhaps. -- Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen "...plus... Tubular Bells!"
