[jbosstools-dev] Handy Plugin - debug another eclipse

[Rob Stryker]

I could switch it up so it just accepts an ant fileset and is usable 
anywhere.

To enable it, you have to check out the source, export the project as a 
plugin (aka have PDE build it for you), and then shove the jar in your 
plugins folder.   If you need any help just ask.
