I saw a forum post from Netbeans 6.something and somebody from Netbeans said
dbx would be supported in Netbeans 7.

7.1 and 7.2 don't support it. They let you change the debugger to anything
you want, but they only use the path and still try to find gdb there.

My questions are

1 Will Netbeans ever support the dbx debugger?

2 Given Netbeans does support Solaris Studio for the compiler, assembler and
  linker does gdb even work with those executables? I'm asking since Solaris
  doesn't come with gdb this is a weird combination. If somebody tested this
  then I'll try and build gdb on Solaris. If not then why does Netbeans
  support Solaris studio? If you can't debug anything..

3 Is Netbeans C/C++/Fortran support only designed to work with gcc, g++ and
  gfortran and gdb? What is your use case?

Thank you for any info you can provide. It is a huge pain in the ass having
to use 3 different IDEs on 4 platforms. It would be so great if Netbeans
could do most of this.
