I think that we should create a kdevplatform/debuggers directory for that.

What about integrating it to RunController or adding a DebuggerController?
I'd rather the second, though, so that we don't mix up so much thinks...

I'm not sure about that, but for now our priority should be that all
debugger plugins use the same widget set. (backtraces, variable view, etc).

Debuggers should feel integrated to the whole IDE solution, we should
integrate the Run targets with the debugger and all the Areas stuff as well.

I would like to work with you with this debugger stuff because I think it is
a very important step for KDevelop now.

Take care!
