"if" inside Looping Constructs

I have encountered an interesting issue/problem with JSwat when debugging
code that contains "if"/"else if" constructs inside looping constructs.

Some example code:

while (some condition)
{
    ...

    if (condition 1)
    {
        ...
    }
    else if (condition 2)
    {
        ...
    }
    else if (condition 3)
    {
        <condition 3 line 1>;
        <condition 3 line 2>;
    }
}

In the debugger, if I step inside the "else if" block for condition 2, once
I have executed all of the code in that block, the flow of execution moves
immediately to the last line of the "else if" block for condition 3 (it is
highlighted as if it is next).  However, in reality, this code is not
executing, and if I tell the debugger to step, it steps back to the while
condition at the top of the code sample.  It appears that JSwat does not
know that it is actually executing the code that is terminating the "else
if" block for condition 2 and the terminating that loop of the while loop.

In discussions with my colleagues, this was mentioned as being seen in other
debuggers too.

Is this a problem with the Java Debugging API or is it a more specific
problem with JSwat?
