Great. In my later posts on that thread, I was explaining that there 
should not be need for Nice-specific handling in the eclipse debugger. 
The Nice compiler implements JSR 45, which allows enough source code 
information to be present in the class file, whatever the source 
language. Unfortunately, they did not respond to that, but they pointed 
before to code that should be helpful. You should also make sure to know 
if the situation has changed since by writing to the eclipse debugger 
people again.

If somebody needs to do graphical debuging of Nice prgrams, they can 
look at the JSwat debugger (Swing based). I contributed code to it JSR 
45 compliant, and that allows farily good support for debugging Nice 
programs. Support in eclipse too would be a great addition, still.
