There's a new version of Xdebug released which fixes a major bug where inspecting static properties caused Xdebug to crash in XAMPP 1.8.0.
Unfortunately, you’ll need to update manually the version of Xdebug shipped with XAMPP to Xdebug 2.2.1 rather than 2.2.0:
Simply download the correct Xdebug binary (VC9 threadsafe PHP 5.4 VC9 TS (64 bit) (MD5: 81cacc87168c99c7f65ba202dc12c4b2)) and copy it in your XAMPP installation at xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll
restart Apache and you can continue debugging!

Make Eclipse PDT work for Joomla development
Install a PHP debugger
In order to be able to perform debugging using eclipse PDT, you must download one of the following extra packages: XDEBUG or ZEND debugger. I was not able to get the debugger running with XDEBUG even after reading many tutorials and trial error approach. Both packages are free, and it has work nicely for me with ZEND debugger after 5 minutes...
Unfortunately, XDEBUG/ZEND can not be packaged with PDT due to license restrictions, so both tools are not just running out of the box without few efforts.

PDT + Zend in one package thanks to Zend.com (118MB), highly recommended
