+== Debugging (using Eclipse) ==
+
+If you need to debug a plugin, it can easily be done using Eclipse:
+
+1. Import your plugin as an existing project in Eclipse
+2. Open your project properties to add required libraries (Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs). You must at least add `josm/core/dist/josm-custom.jar`, but you may also add your plugin dependencies if any (for instance `josm/dist/utilsplugin2.jar`).
+3. Create a `Run Configuration` (Properties -> Run/Debug Settings -> New -> Java Application). Main class must be set to `org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication`.
+4. You can know tweak your plugin and/or set breakpoints… etc.
