Depends on what you want. The situation is as follows. Beginning with JDE
2.16beta7, the
JDE supports two debuggers: the version of jdb shipped with the JDK 1.0,
1.1 and 1.2
and JDEbug. To run JDEbug, you need either JDK 1.2 plus the JPDA
distribution or JDK 1.3,
which includes the JPDA distribution. Note that the JDE does NOT support
the version
of jdb that comes with the JPDA distribution. Thus, if you want to be able
to run either jdb or JDEbug, you need to install JDK 1.2 and JPDA, include
the JPDA bin
directory in your system's command path, and then either rename or delete the
(incompatible) version of jdb in the JPDA's bin directory. (You will then
be assured of getting
the compatible jdb version in the JDK 1.2 bin directory. If you want to use
JDK 1.3, you
should forget jdb and use JDEbug for debugging. Eventually, I hope, jdb
will go away and
JDE users will only need and want to use JDEbug.
