This is a "feature" of the new JPDA-based version of jdb. It includes a
filter to skip stepping into JDK classes. This is to avoid such annoyances
as stepping into ClassLoader methods eveytime an object of a new type is
created.

It appears that jde-db-source-directories is set in your project file but
not in your .emacs file. As you step into source directories that are not
in the current project, the value of jde-db-source-directories will be
reset to the default value (nil) or the value in the .emacs file due to
project context-switching. This is a bug that I have fixed in the case of
JDEbug but not yet for the jdb interface. I suggest that as a workaround,
you provide a setting for jde-db-source-directories in your .emacs file
that includes all source directories you may ever step into.
