Good news, my PHP colleagues. Dave Kelsey have uploaded the next version (0.2.0) of XDebug support for PDT 0.7 RC3. Plugin should be used with XDebug 2.0.0RC3 only and PDT 0.7 RC3 and newer.

Changes:

• Resources are now defined as resources, not strings
• Strings and resources will be decoded as appropriate
• Addressed XML change in Java 6, so Java 6 (namely JRE 1.6) should now work
• Expose all super globals provided by XDebug (which now includes _SESSION)
• Provided sample path mapper (version 0.0.1)

Prebuilt Binary of XDebug V0.2.0 support for PDT RC3 only
Example Mapper for XDebug 0.2.0 Support
