I followed the instructions in this article on how to setup RDT in  
Eclipse:  
[http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-rubyeclipse/?ca=dgr-lnxw01Ruby4Eclipse](http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-rubyeclipse/?ca=dgr-lnxw01Ruby4Eclipse)

I was able to run the unit tests but I don’t know how to get the  
debugger working. I am using Eclipse 3.2. Does anyone know how I can  
get the debugger working? TIA.

hi,

try this link  
[http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html](http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html)  
the way to insert the plugins is pretty god specified.

you have to start the breakpointer and insert in your code the mark  
breakpoint “”

hope this helps
