Paul,
Previously, my JDE debugging efforts have been limited to debugging a
process running a single thread. Things were simple enough, I guess,
that I was able to effectively debug with a limited set of jde debugging
commands. Now things aren't so simple. We are doing integration testing
of a large multi-threaded application and I feel the need to read the
complete documentation on JDE's debugging capability (using JDEbug). And
there is the rub. I can find relatively little documentation on the
subject. There are two references to debugging in the JDE docs, one for
jdb and the other for JDEbug. Is the jdb documentation at all applicable
to debugging with JDEbug? I kind of doubt that this is true, since the
jdb docs seems out of date.
Most specifically, I would like to understand the debugging commands
related to processes and threads and how certain general commands, for
example, stepOver, stepInto, interact with multiple running threads and
processes. Documentation on all the debugging commands would be very
helpful.
Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places for the relevant
documentation. Or, perhaps the problem is that my current use of JDE is
the only exposure I have to java debugging and so I might need more help
with the debugging commands than people who have used other java
debuggers. In any case, thank you for your help.
