File-based debugging problem/question.

Question

I've encountered a few different issues trying to employ this feature in conjunction with SVN:
- In Version 3.0.04, I don't get the option to compile or run my .pkb or .plb files - when opened, they open in a regular worksheet rather than a PL/SQL editor.
- In Version 3.0.03, I can successfully compile and place breakpoints in my .pkb files. However, when I attempt to debug, I get a message along the lines of:
"Target MY_PACKAGE.pkb is not runnable, using default target MY_PACKAGE."
which then moves me from my file to the actual package for the debug, which works but is kind of confusing.
My first question is if the issue I'm having with 3.0.04 is a regression, or if it's something that I'm doing wrong. My second question is if anybody has had more success using this feature than I have. I'd appreciate any insight as there seems to be very little documentation of this feature thus far.
Thanks,
Charlie

Let simplify the matter and restrict discussion to sqldeveloper-3.0.04.61 only. In my experience both .pkb and .plb files open in PL/SQL editor, not SQL worksheet. Can you try it on really simple source, such as
create or replace
package body "TEST_PACK" is
function TEST_FUNC( P_ARG1 IN NUMBER
) RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
I INTEGER;
BEGIN
i := 1;
null;
end TEST_FUNC;
procedure TEST( P_ARG1 IN VARCHAR2
,P_ARG2 IN NUMBER
as
begin
null;
end TEST;
end "TEST_PACK";
After saving this file in the filesystem as test_pack.plb, does it open in PL/SQL editor? Then after pressing compile toolbar button, what is the content of Application Data/SQL Developer/System3.0.04.61/o.sqldeveloper11.1.2.4.61/project.qbql?
