[oXygen-user] debugging a java extension?

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

What do you mean by working continuously in the Debugger? Do you mean 
that you update the extension class/jar and you expect that the new 
version is used in the same debugging session? That does not work, the 
extension is loaded when the transformation is started. The extension 
will be refreshed at the next transformation. This is also true for the 
Editor perspective.


Regards,
Sorin
