gdb isn't really a great solution for Eclipse plugins. It's doable,
yes, but a PITA.
OK; I've never tried. I'm not sure why an Eclipse plugin would be any
different from any other bit of Java code, but I'll take your word for
it.

Are our RPMs non-optimized?
I hope not! :-)
If I need to debug an installed RPM for long enough that the weirdness
of debugging optimized code starts to get on my nerves, I'll recompile
the jarfile[s] in question: it's just "gcj -g -shared ... foo.jar -o
/lib/foo.jar.so"
