Amit and I intend to release an alpha version within a week. It will have at
least basic breakpoint, stepping, and variable value display capabilities.
Ultimately, Amit and I plan to implement all the features discussed as quickly
as time permits. These includes:
* debugging multiple processes in the same session
* automatic local variable display
* stepping on a single thread
* conditional breakpoints
* object inspector
* watchpoints
Complete source for the debugger will be distributed with the JDE and
everyone is
welcome to help implement ever more powerful features.
Along this line, once I get the debugger well in hand, my top priority will be
to get a JDE cvs repository set up to facilitate collaborative development.
Even though the project is far from over, I'd like to take this opportunity
to express my gratitude for the great work being done by Amit Kumar, Robert
Field, and the other members of the JPDA team. The JDEbug debugger has
benefitted significantly from their insights and design suggestions as well
as Amit's implementation of the Java side of the debugger.
