I like a lot the idea of this feature! My thought is: nearly all of the
time I will want to skip over the system routines. My question is: is there
an easy way to make this the default behavior (besides JDE shipping with all
of the Java classes/packages listed in the file - unless this is the idea
you guys are talking about and I missed it...)?

Yes. I think it is feasible to create a customization variable that would
allow you to specify classes or packages of classes whose methods you would
prefer to skip when stepping into a method. When you issue a step-into
command, the JDEBug would look at the result. If the result is a method
from a forbidden class, it would immediately issue a step out command,
without updating the source buffer, and then another step-into command.
This would continue until a non-forbidden method is entered. Only then
would the source pointer be updated. I will implement this approach asap.
