I would be interested in what steps you took to get Bugseeker connected to your
remote VM, as would other people on the list. Are the steps short enough to include
in an Orion Interest email?

I was in contact with Allaire's Kawa support recently and they told me that
Kawa will support running/debugging Orion directly in it's IDE in an
upcoming service pack, how soon it will be released is not certain, so
caveat emptor. I found Kawa to be a pretty good basic IDE (I don't like lots
of frills, I just want codesense and debugging), although in addition to not
yet supporting Orion it was not a simple affair to add .class files to the
CodeSense. If you want a decent step-thru remote debugger, check out
Bugseeker (http://www.karmira.com) it was a bit tricky to get it connected
to my remote JVM, but once I figured it out it was pretty good, it's *very*
affordable, too. I also have recently become aware of JSwat
(http://www.bluemarsh.com/java/jswat/), an open-source debugger. I am
currently using the combination of Visual Slickedit for editing, Bugseeker
for debugging and ANT for building, I occasionally fire up Forte (only
because I have 256 MB memory and lots of time!) to do visual Swing stuff.
Hope this helps,
Mac Ferguson
