MeLabs provides an MPLAB plugin with instructions on using it here;
http://www.microengineeringlabs.com/support/mplab.htm

PBP works with ICD/ICD2. I rarely use my ICD2, but it's an option if I need it.

You can setup PBP as a language tool in MPLAB and compile/simulate or just
import the .COD file and run it through MPSIM.

It really is.
