[Jython-users] Using Jython as an interactive Java debugger.

[Greg L. <Gr...@da...>]

I am experimenting with Jython at the moment. I am impressed.

I was wondering if any jython-guru's have used it to debug Java code.

I guess you could run the Jython interpretor in a seperate thread to the
program you're trying to debug. You could then stop the thread from jython
and inspect the state of its attributes and test calling some of the
methods.

This would be very handy for experimenting with swing gui's.

Has anybody experimented with some of the Java debugger api's? It may even
be possible to set break points on particular methods.

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg.
