It is in my experience.  The JDE has a tendency to lock Emacs hard in some
situations.  I don't know why.

Huh.  That is interesting.  I would admit that those are a priority (Ant, etc).
Possibly because a lot of Java/Emacs developers haven't had the ability to do
real solid debugging in a long time.

I have been watching the commits.  Keep up the good work! :)

Really?  In my mind, the fact that jdb is soo buggy is a real drawback.  When I
use it from the command line it NPEs and has trouble in a lot of places.

JDEBug shouldn't suffer from this problem.  Most of the problems with JDB are
with its implementation of a JPDA debugger and not the JPDA archtecture itself.
I would assume that JDEBug could solve this.

Thanks for the update.
