You and I have the same hope and expectation.

Absolutely, about a year ago, the advent of semantic plus a host of
contributions from JDE users diverted my attention from JDEbug. I have
felt very bad all along about neglecting JDEbug, which I regard as
basically an early beta version, and have been anxious all along to get
back to it. But the recent string of reports of JDEbug hanging at startup
plus the absence of feature requests and comments (contrasted with the many
requests in the editing area) made me wonder if anyone was using JDEbug
and, if not, whether it was worthwhile investing any further time in
JDEbug. Your response plus that of many others has renewed my determination
to develop JDEbug into a robust and easy-to-use debugging tool.
