Eclipse plug-in editing

I see a lot of articles for making new plugins, but not what I want to do. I've edited CVSProjectSetCapability and I now have a raw .java file. This is a pre-existing plugin within Eclipse already, and I don't want to play with the manifest or anything, just try to shoehorn it back in so I can debug. Is there a way to do that?

You are trying to go about it the hard way. Modifying an existing plugin is similar to working on a new plugin. Simply create a new workspace and import the project/source of the plugin in question. Make your changes and hit run. At that point you are running/debugging with your changes. When done, you can use PDE's export wizards to produce a new plugin jar.
