[opencms-dev] Remote debugging OpenCms with Eclipse

I had this working... somehow. As my eclipse workspace and my VFS were not 
synchronized it happened, that the source code and the actually executing 
code drifted some lines apart, but basically it worked.

However, I just tried to reproduce it and I'm not able to :( Na matter what 
I choose to be the source folder Eclipse (3.2.1 BTW) doesn't find the 
source. The only thing I can definitely say is that I didn't specify any 
special folder for this to work. Eclipse just found it.

That is different to what I used. I copied a working OpenCms instance in 
a "Dynamic Web Project" of eclipse and had thus OpenCms running inside 
Tomcat which was under control of Eclipse.

However, I don't like this way of running OpenCms too much. Setting it up is 
quite a task and Eclipse does some magic behind the scenes that I'm not 
totally aware of.

How did you set up your environment? Is there some documentation online 
available?
