Simple Debugger is a lightweight Eclipse plugin developed as a personal pet project and first working version to explore Eclipse debugging APIs.
It provides basic debugging features, including:
- Automatically sets a breakpoint at the first executable line of code
- Inspection of the call stack and console output
- Modification of local variables within the current method
- Modification of field values in the context of the executing method
This plugin is intended as a simple and extensible foundation. Further improvements and features are planned.
