More setting up Eclipse for Django debugging

I have been using eclipse with break points to debug a django app for a few days now. For a while the process was pretty flaky.

At first, I thought it was because I installed Aptana Web Development Tools after I had things working. The reason I installed that plugin was to get decent editors for HTML, CSS and javascript. After that install, I get the message: "Aptana JavaScript Scripting Console Started" whenever I start eclipse. It seems that message is benign.

I was able to get the debugger to work reliably with django by:

1) starting the remote debugger (as before)
2) using the Run icon to start manage.py instead of the Debug icon.
