java debugger
 

i'm a fairly new java programmer and I was wondering if there is a debugger that comes with javaJDK?

At the moment I program in C in Linux with Emacs and use gdb alot to solve my problems, however I'm now wondering if java comes with a debugger like gdb that can be used in Emacs

Here is a link to the Java tools

Here is the "jdb" debugger

I don't know if it works with Emacs. I use Netbeans http://www.netbeans.org

There is a graphical one called Forte (which is basically NetBeans) from the sunsite.

I use the sdk itself in the Emacs mule. You can use javac in the command line from emacs, and any error messages will output to the mule. It has to be my favourite way of programming in java because it's very quick and easy.

JAVA DEBUGGER
 

You should visit www.eclipse.org. There you could find open source IDE for Java called Eclipse. It has exellent debugger. Eclipse is originally developed by IBM and it's very similar to
IBM Application Developer but it's lot faster.
