Yes. This has moved to the top of my priority list. I looked into the JPDA
specification yesterday and, indeed, there is a facility for filtering step
requests. You can specify a pseudo regular express that filters out steps
into any class or any package or set of packages. My plan is to filter
ClassLoader.* by default but allow you to specify any filters either
globally or on a per step basis. This will be in the next release.

Yes, this is very useful and easy to do. I will include it in the next release.

Okay. I'm planning to revamp the buffer window system entirely to make it
more manageable. You will be able to specify what windows get displayed at
startup and whether they display in the current frame or in separate frame.

Yes. I could make this an option I suppose.
I trust you are aware that the command Remove Dead Processes removes all
buffers of dead processes. I use this command whenever I exit a process and
I don't need to keep its buffers around.

I could make this an option. Personally I like to keep the debugger
running. Anyway, it has to be an option as you might be debugging several
processes at the same time and might not want the debugger killed if one of
them dies.

Set jde-run-java-vm-w to javaw. This is the default by the way. You must
have changed it when you were using NT/XEmacs.
