Paul,
My apologies in the misleading information from before. I retraced my
steps as I was certain not to have entered jdb for this variable
without good reason. Turns out to be the default variable already set
when toggling from executable to class. Recall seeing a jdb class in
an even earlier 2.1.6beta. I then looked into the jars, found no such
class existed, used jde.debugger.Jdebug which worked except for the
JDEbug menu, apparently the lisp was only expecting jdebug.
The instructions in the customization buffer is what prompted me to
enter jde.debugger.Jdebug for jde-db-debugger:
Specify debugger. [Hide]
Enter the path name of debugger, if debugger ia an executable; otherwise,
the fully qualified package name of the debugger class.
It took a little looking to find the installation instructions in the
release notes. For instance the beta9 notes refers the reader to beta
7&8 but the information I didn't follow properly is in beta5:
JDE-2.1.6beta9 Release Notes
(See release notes for beta 7 and 8 below for information on
installing and running JDEBug.)
I hope this helps with the documentation.
Thank you for providing the programming world with JDE. I've used
earlier releases for two years and now don't have to leave emacs
to have a full featured java debugger.
Regards,
Ted
