I've used:
JBuilder 3.5 Foundation (free one). Has a nice integrated debugger,
overall the best IDE in my opinion.
CodeGuide 2.5. Fast tool for a Pure Java IDE, has a decent integrated
debugger but doesn't have specfic variable watches, so you have to
navigate a tree of objects to find the value you're looking for.
BugSeeker 2b1 is a standalone debugger with a slick UI. It seems to
work with all the 1.2x and IBM's 1.3 JDKs, but I've had problems getting
it to stop on breakpoints sometimes, seems somewhat random.
Forte for Java is a nice IDE and debugger, but is too resource-intensive
for me (P2-400, 256 MB, RedHat 6.1).
Others I could never get working:
JSwat, JIG, Metamata debug. And I know there are more. Here's a link
to some of them:
