Re: a question about using netbeans modules

JSwat is basically a client to NetBeans, so whatever it has to offer, you
can make use of it. With this particular module, however, it may be
necessary for JSwat to call API in that module. I haven't looked at it so
I don't know. Please log an RFE so I don't forget this.

As for the 3.0 status, it is slowly creeping along. Presently it offers
the launch, resume, suspend, and finish actions. Progress has been pretty
slow because I work on JSwat about 1 hour a day. With this version I am
also attempting perfection, spending copious amounts of time carefully
crafting the code to my ideal design.

I do plan on making early releases when some of the basic functionality i=
s
there. For instance, it would need to have local variable display and
breakpoint management, but could do without threads, watches, and the cal=
l
stack. Sure, it would be next to useless, but it's a start.

BTW, in case anyone is wondering, I haven't regretted this move at all. I
love NetBeans (Platform). It may take some time to get there, but it will
be very much worthwhile.
