In my Eclipse plugin, I would like to be notified on debugger events (e.g. when stepping or a breakpoint is hit). I’ve managed to get this working in a JDT environment by subscribing to debug events using this code:

DebugPlugin.getDefault().addDebugEventListener(this);

Which gives this event handler:

public void handleDebugEvents(DebugEvent[] events)
{
}

In JDT this is fired on Breakpoint or Suspend events and I was hoping the behaviour would be the same in CDT. However, it is not. I only get two Create events at the start of the debug session:

DebugEvent[org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.launching.GDBProcess@ae0aae, CREATE, UNSPECIFIED]
DebugEvent[org.eclipse.debug.core.model.RuntimeProcess@920d5d, CREATE, UNSPECIFIED]

Is there a generic solution that wouldn’t require specific dependencies on JDT or CDT?

Thanks,
Alan
