title: Debugging with eclipse and xdebug won't go past the first line
body: <p><strong>Yes I have tried searching on StackOverflow and Google for my problem. If you read the entire question you will see that I include a lot of links to previous answers that I found using both.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to get XDebug working with Version: Juno Service Release 2 of Eclipse for about the past hour and a half and I'm running into a log of issues. I've already solved most of my problems by using stack overflow and Google.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps <a href="http://technosophos.com/content/debugging-your-php-code-xdebug-mamp-textmate-and-macgdbp-support" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> first to install the debugger.</p>
  
  <p>I made sure that I added the debugger as a zend_extension as mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2359712/remote-debugging-wont-stop-at-breakpoints">this</a> post.</p>
  
  <p>Here are the relevant lines from my php.ini file</p>
  
  <pre><code>zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so"
  xdebug.collect_params=4
  xdebug.var_display_max_depth=999
  xdebug.dump.POST=*
  xdebug.dump.GET=*
  xdebug.show_local_vars=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I made sure that I edited the php.ini file for the 5.3 version of php that comes with MAMP. At this point the debugger would start even though XDebug does show up when I run php -v. </p>
  
  <p>Since I was still having issues I checked the logs just like someone did <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3422433/xdebug-ignores-breakpoints">here</a>. I noticed this error in the logs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Model' not found in ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After checking the <a href="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/models.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> for the latest version of CodeIgniter I noticed that all Models have to extend CI_Model and not Model.</p>
  
  <p>I fixed that and the error is no longer being printed to the logs, but now things just don't work. The debugger won't go past the first line when I try to debug a file.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to debug my php application as a PHP CLI Application. When I try to debug the application as a PHP Web Application I get an error message that says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>No tab group defined for launch configuration type org.eclipse.php.debug.core.launching.webPageLaunch
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=no+tab+group+defined+for+launch+configuration+type&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;channel=fflb#hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=wv3&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&amp;channel=fflb&amp;sclient=psy-ab&amp;q=no+tab+group+defined+for+launch+configuration+type+php+webpage&amp;oq=no+tab+group+defined+for+launch+configuration+type+php+webpage&amp;gs_l=serp.3...4412.6607.0.7990.8.8.0.0.0.0.171.902.5j3.8.0...0.0...1c.1.8.psy-ab.7ZH9knNOCgw&amp;pbx=1&amp;bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&amp;fp=f541d26e5940a762&amp;biw=1440&amp;bih=714" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Googling</a> the problem, I came across <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12182255/how-to-install-eclipse-pdt-3-1-in-eclipse-juno">this</a> post that suggested that <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/366539/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">you might not be able to do</a> what I'm trying to do. Since the question was first asked in 2009, I decided to try the second suggestion and check for any updates.</p>
  
  <p>After updating all of my Eclipse plugins I was still having the same problem. After searching on SO some more, I saw that <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5585026/problems-debugging-with-eclipse-and-xdebug">this</a> guy just gave up and tried with NetBeans and got everything to work.</p>
  
  <p>Should I just consider the past 1.5 - 2 hours as a sunk cost and just move on to a different IDE?</p>
