JDEbug updates the threads buffer only when you issue the Display->Threads
command. I have not implemented auto update out of performance concerns.
JDEbug currently updates the local variables buffer every time you hit a
breakpoint or take a step. I'm concerned that updating the threads buffer
as well might make the response time unacceptable. However, I have not
tried this so I may experiment to see just how bad the performance hit is.
If it is not too bad, I could make both thread updating and locals updating
options that you could turn off or on depending on your needs.
