Hi all,
I am a new comer of JDE and am excited to have a Java environment for
emacs. The feature that most interest me is the ability to debug Java
programs within Emacs.
I am using JDK1.3 and JDE225(elib 1.0, semantic131, speedbar0.13a).
I've just got them installed and working to some extend. I do encounter
some issues and would like to ask for your help/clarification:
A) Using JDebug in general.
I can't find an interactive environment for me to issue(by typing) debug
commands such as next, cont (like the way I use gdb for example). Did I
miss something?
B) Using JDebug to attach a process.
I can issue the commands to attach to an app I ran outside of
emacs(shmem, address=jdebug) and attach to it in JDebug, see JDebug
message below:
_______________________
*** Debugger Output for Process jdebug(4) ***
Attached to process jdebug.
Attached VM (shmem) Java Debug Interface (Reference Implementation)
version 1.3
Java Debug Wire Protocol (Reference Implementation) version 1.0
JVM Debug Interface version 1.0
JVM version 1.3.0 (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, interpreted mode)
_______________________
At this point, nothing is happening in the emacs. I clicked on
"JDebug->Continue" the following shows:
_______________________
Running jdebug
_______________________
And again nothing seems to be happening. I can't figure out what the
problem is. I am also not sure if I use the name jdebug correctly.
(after I clicked on attach->shared memory, the minibuffer prompts for
"process name" and that's where I entered "jdebug") I tried to use other
names but did not seem to make any difference.
c) Using jdb
I then tried to use jdb. I was able to set it up and debug an app
launched by jdb. Stepping thru the code also seemed to work fine.
However, I can 't figure out how to make it to do attach. I tried a few
things but can't seem to make JDE to accept my "-attach" correctly.
Is there a way to use jdb for attaching?
I sincerely appreciate your help.
Joe
