So right now the JSwat bug/RFE with the most votes (3) is #458,
implementing a byte-code viewer
(http://www.bluemarsh.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=458).

I, for one, do not see the use of this feature. If you are debugging,
would you not have the source code of the class you are debugging, and
thus would you not want to use the source-level debugging? I am looking
at the amount of work involved in the implementation and I simply do not
see a valuable return for the effort. My gut feeling tells me this will
take two to three weeks to implement. There are a number of changes to
the existing code and significant amounts of new code that must be
written. There is also the console mode and jEdit plugin to consider.

While byte-code viewing is a nice-to-have feature, is it really what you
want me spending all that time working on? What I am asking for is for
everyone to vote for the open bugs and feature requests that you really
want fixed or implemented.

Thank you.
