+  <p>If you are developing in Eclipse with the ADT plugin, you can use the built-in Java Debugger,
+  along with DDMS, to debug your applications. To access the debugger and
+  DDMS, Eclipse displays the debugger and DDMS features as perspectives, which are customized
+  Eclipse views that display certain tabs and windows depending on the perspective that you are in.
+  Eclipse also takes care of starting the ADB host daemon for you, so you do not have to run this
+  manually.</p>
+
+  <h2>The Debug Perspective in Eclipse</h2>
+
+  <p>The Debug Perspective in Eclipse gives you access to the following tabs:</p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>Debug - Displays previously and currently debugged Android applications and its currently
+    running threads</li>
+
+    <li>Variables - When breakpoints are set, displays variable values during code execution</li>
+
+    <li>Breakpoints - Displays a list of the set breakpoints in your application code</li>
+
+    <li>LogCat - Allows you to view system log messages in real time. The LogCat tab is also
+    available in the DDMS perspective.</li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>You can access the Debug Perspective by clicking <strong>Window &gt; Open Perspective &gt;
+  Debug</strong>. Refer to the appropriate documentation for the Eclipse debugger for more
+  information.</p>
+
+  <h2>The DDMS Perspective</h2>
+  <p>The DDMS Perspective in Eclipse lets you access all of the features
+  of DDMS from within the Eclipse IDE. The following sections of DDMS are available to you:</p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>Devices - Shows the list of devices and AVDs that are connected to ADB.</li>
+
+    <li>Emulator Control - Lets you carry out device functions.</li>
+
+    <li>LogCat - Lets you view system log messages in real time.</li>
+
+    <li>Threads - Shows currently running threads within a VM.</li>
+
+    <li>Heap - Shows heap usage for a VM.</li>
+
+    <li>Allocation Tracker - Shows the memory allocation of objects.</li>
+
+    <li>File Explorer - Lets you explore the device's file system.</li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>To access the DDMS perspective, go to <strong>Window &gt; Open Perspective &gt;
+  DDMS</strong>. If DDMS does not appear, go to <strong>Window &gt; Open Perspective &gt; Other
+  ...</strong> and select <strong>DDMS</strong> from the Open Perspective window that appears. For
+  more information on using DDMS, see <a href="ddms.html">Using the Dalvik Debug Monitor Server</a>.
