+Release notes for the jdb debugger |
+
+Home Page + +
+As a demonstration of the + +JavaTM Platform Debugger Architecture +we are providing source code for the jdb debugger, which was +re-written to use + +JDI. + +
+
+jdb man pages for Windows ++
+
+ java com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.TTY <options>.. <class-name> ++where <class-name> is the name you would normally +place on the
java command line. The -help
+option provides information on options.
+
++Note: the path to the JDI Library and to +the compiled jdb class files must be on the class path +used to invoke com.sun.tools.example.debug.tty.TTY. + +
+For more information on invoking and connecting, refer to the + +Connection and Invocation Details section of the + +JPDA documentation, +particularly the section on jdb. +

debug directory of examples.jar.
+Note: these directories also include the
+source for javadt.
+Source code for these example applications is included to provide concrete
+examples for debugger developers. Example code may be used, modified
+and redistributed by debugger developers providing they adhere to the
+terms in the COPYRIGHT notice.
+
+jdb uses the following packages (found under the
+debug directory):
+
tty
+expr
++
debug directory,
+you need only to compile them. No special
+options are required, aside from those which set your classpath to
+include the JDI Library.
+
+
+However, if you want to modify the expression parser in the file
+Expr.jj, you will need the
+
+JavaCC parser generator.
+It is available free from
+Metamata
+(now part of WebGain).
