Hi Paul I've been using jdb on JBoss (I tried JDEbug but it was too slow) and it works great. The only niggle I would have is with useability. I find it easier to type commands at the console than using the rather convoluted control key sequences, but every time the source file changes it loads in the same window as the console, thus hiding it.
