Debugging an embedded VM with local debug info

Hi,

I have a situation where I would like to debug an embedded VM, but the class
data on the embedded system was not compiled with debug info (-g). I have
full access to the source and can generate a Jar file with the exact same
code that includes the debug info. Is it possible to tell the debugger (or
debuggee) to look for the symbol info from my Jar file and not just the
embedded class data.

The technique of just loading symbol info and attaching to a remote system
is quite a normal approach to embedded debugging in other languages like
C/C++, so I would hope Java has some similar facility.

Thanks,
