Eclipse doesn't really do that, you need to launch your application. I
find that annoying, Komodo handles this so much better and asks to start
a debug session as soon as one is initiated by PHP/Xdebug. There is
another issue where it *stops* the debug session as soon as you do some
GUI action, making site-activated debugging much harder to do.
