Debug C++ project in eclipse

[Marty Burns]

I am looking for a procedure to set up a debug configuration in eclipse for a C++ project packaged as a maven nar file. I am using the m2e-nar plugin in eclipse CDT. I want to be able to set break points in the source and debug accordingly. Anyone have experience doing this?

I have a C++ project that produces a nar file with depnedencies in pom.xml:

<plugin>

    <groupId>com.github.maven-nar</groupId>

    <artifactId>nar-maven-plugin</artifactId>

    <version>${nar.version}</version>

    <extensions>true</extensions>

    <executions>

<execution>

<id>nar-download</id>

<goals>

<goal>nar-download</goal>

</goals>

</execution>

<execution>

<id>nar-unpack</id>

<goals>

<goal>nar-unpack</goal>

</goals>

</execution>

<execution>

<id>nar-test-unpack</id>

<goals>

<goal>nar-test-unpack</goal>

</goals>

</execution>

<execution>

<id>nar-integration-test</id>

<goals>

<goal>nar-integration-test</goal>

</goals>

</execution>

</executions>

  </plugin>

Here is the profile for the Cpp program:

                </environmentVariables>

I can run this project successfully with:

```mvn exec:exec -P CppFed,Ping```
