Re: eclipse and openamf

Hmm...

Thats interesting martin, and if I had to do it it would still be much
better than what I was doing when I *wasnt* using eclipse. But I have
been seduced by the idea of actually debugging in eclipse and getting
the benefit of the eclipse debugger while debugging my server side
code. I ***love*** the idea of setting breakpoints and being able to
test code and observe and stop and start and all that stuff from
within eclipse.

So...

I am really hoping that someone out there can tell me that what I want
to do is possible (and not insanely difficult) to setup.

Regards
Hank
