Thanks for the info. I'm starting to see better what's involved in JDPA.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that if JSwat is already 
using Location.sourceName(), then it already supports source-level 
debuging of other languages than Java, provided the class file contains 
the appropriate information (I'm studying the format at the moment). If 
JSwat does not handle strata at all, I suppose the JDI calls will return 
the informations (source file name, line number) for the default strata. 
Since the class file can define the default stratum, it should work well.

Did I miss something? What do you think implementing RFE 463 would 
amount to? The only thing I could see missing is the ability for the 
user to switch from one stratum to another (which personally I would 
probably not need).
