I have recently used the JavaScript debugger in Mozilla. It seemed to work quite good. Just open a webpage, set a breakpoint and off you go.
Yeah, I love it also. But the purpose of the JS debugger in Lepido is different: we want to be able do debug server-side flowscript files. Sure, there is the Swing debugger that comes with Rhino, but having it all in a single environment (including multi-language breakpoints and stacktraces) would definitely be better.
So, you want multi-language (as in: programming language) server-side flowscript debugging? Isn't that a little over-ambitious to start with?
In my experience: get something that actually works, then take the next step - use refactoring when needed. Divide and conquer.
Unless, of course, all the components are already lying around anyway.
How does that sound?
