Just to inform you. Someone from RedHat implemented big parts of JDWP
already in GNU classpath and libgcj/gcj. Perhaps you should have a loog
at and use some parts of it as it will get into SableVM anyway when
someone finds the time to merge a newer GNU classpath. There is no need
to implement everything twice or more in the classpath community.
