Debugging Programs

The IDE supports two multithreaded debuggers: the JDK 1.1 debugger and the Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA). Both debuggers provide the ability to set breakpoints and watches, to step through code, to examine and modify variables, to examine classes and the callstack, to follow threads, and to run multiple sessions. The JPDA is the default debugger if you are running the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), SDK 1.3.
