You probably can't, for two reasons:
1) Sun doesn't compile the Java core classes with -g, which JPDA needs
to see breakpoints.
2) You can't compile the Java sources in src.jar and get rt.jar, since
there are all kinds of native classes and code to deal with the
low-level stuff.
Of course, I would *love* to be proved wrong here, but until then this
is another great reason to support Classpath. :)
