[ns] How to work in eclipse for NS-2 new protocol.

[Salih ML]

You can google "ns-2 eclipse" to get more information but I like your
idea and added my experiences to the ns-2 wiki including the
references. You can check it at:

http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Developer_Information#Development_with_Eclipse

Hopefully people would contribute to make debugging part more clear.

Right now if I don't give any input file Eclipse opens a console where
it runs the Tcl interpreter (The same effect as running "ns" without
an input file). However when I set any breakpoint it complains that it
can't find the source files. I don't know how to fix it.. :(
