Just to add to this.
One of the best ways to debug serious problems is to follow the stack
trace. If your bug causing exceptions then you can find the class and line
responsible in the stack trace. If the bug is more subtle then logging and
or assertions are the preferable way to go. It's also a good discipline.

Hi Koen,
I've never tried it, but would it be able to follow the biojava code if
you had both the source and the class files in the jar?
Another way would be to compile biojava without making the jar file and
put the class files with yours. Then there would be no reason why the
debugger can't follow it out.
I never use a debugger so I'm not quite sure why it couldn't follow it.
I'm mostly a fan of log4j (I guess the 1.4 logging system would work
fine too) and of using bean shell to go step-by-step.
