Re: Debugging with JDEE

The advantage of jdb is of course it's fully integrated into
jdee-emacs so you are debugging the same code that you are editing,
versus jswat which is launched application.

Even though jswat is launched, the source paths and classpaths are
passed to the launched
application based on the jdee project file.  This is better than
starting jswat stand-alone and adding all this manually.

jswat has a lot more options, such as being able to skip classes
during debug.  But at the end of the day it's if you like debugging
in-line or launching debugger.

Not sure about webworks issues, but since both jdb and jswat are jpda
debuggers ,whatever issues you have may exist in both environments.  I
will say that if you do have
a problem it's probably an environmental setting and nothing to do
with webworks.
