StatET debugging tool

debugging, eclipse, r

Solution

The debug framework in Eclipse is not setup to work with R.

Roman Francois had considered having someone code up an integrated debugger that could possibly integrate with Eclipse/Stat-et, but I'm not sure that project progressed.

The only "traditional" debugger that I know of that works with R is Revolution's IDE,

That said, I would love to have a debugger for the Stat-et plugin too.

Problem

I think I'm just being dense, but I can't seem to figure out how to use the debugging tool while working in R in Eclipse (StatET plugin). Has anyone got any tips or tutorials on the subject?
