It's certainly interesting.  The implementation of the NetBeans
interface in Agide wasn't setup to be flexible, you have made a nice
setup for this.

I'm not sure about how to use this.  It should be possible to mix in
with Agide, so that there is no direct connection between the (NetBeans)
editor and the debugger, like you do it now.  That means it would work
with more combinations of editors and debuggers.

Dont' forget that Agide takes care of a lot of things you left out now,
such as redisplaying the breakpoints when exiting the editor and
restarting it.

I'll have a better look later.
