It is our plan to handle unexpected exceptions in a more graceful manner.

Yes and yes.
Emacs and the debugger create a separate user interaction (comint) buffer for
each application that you launch. Anything that you type into the
buffer interaction window is relayed unfiltered to the standard input
of the application. Anything that the application outputs to standard out
or error is relayed unfiltered to the application's user interaction
buffer.

It runs everywhere that the JDE does.
