How to get/create org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.BreakpointsMediator2

I'm developing Eclipse plugin which works with Debugger Services Framework (DSF). The goal I'm trying to achieve is to map IBreakpointsExtension.IBreakpointHitDMEvent to platform breakpoint org.eclipse.debug.core.model.IBreakpoint. There is service and function which can do exactly what I need: org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.BreakpointsMediator2#getPlatformBreakpoint.

The question is how to get/create org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.BreakpointsMediator2 ?

I tried to call DsfServicesTracker#getService(BreakpointsMediator2.class) but it returns null. There is another option (I guess) to create BreakpointsMediator2 instance right in the place where it is going to be used. In that case we need instance of org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.IBreakpointAttributeTranslator2. But DsfServicesTracker#getService(IBreakpointAttributeTranslator2.class) is also returns null.

Solution

  • It is not possible because eclipse-dsf-cdt project simply doesn't implement org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.BreakpointsMediator2 and org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.service.IBreakpointAttributeTranslator2 interfaces. There are request though for implementation. Check https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=478454. Another possible solution is to use MIBreakpointsManager. Keep in mind that in this case your code depends on org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.mi.service.
