Hey Chad!

Yeah... Reverse Engineering is broken in Eclipse 3.4

The relevant patches to fix it were submitted here:
http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1077
http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1078
http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1079

Download the source, patch with the above bits and launch as per:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WOL/Debugging+WOLips

Unfortunately, there's a platform problem on Windoz with at least one of the patches above so the patches haven't been applied to the respository.

This is what I do to get Eclipse running with a version of WOLips where reverse engineering works.
The reason that you get no feed back is fixed by one of the patches above.. All the exceptions are eaten by code which should never have been committed... IMHO! ;-)

This is needed for Eclipse 3.4.
I'm told that it's not likely to be fixed.
Reverse engineering works in 3.5.
So, perhaps it's time to investigate switching versions! ;-)
