Another workaround is to set the "default" jde-db-source-directories to
include the source paths of all projects on which you are working. You
could do this by opening your .emacs file, enter M-x customize-variable
jde-db-source-directories to open the customization buffer for this
variable, edit the buffer to include all source paths for all projects,
then choose the "Save for future sessions option" from the State menu to
save the setting in your .emacs file. This way, when you step into a source
file that does not belong to any project, the JDE can still step back into
the current project. You would have to do something similar for any other
projects whose source files are used by other projects.
You're right, though. The debugger interface has to find a more elegant
solution for this problem.
