Errm, there is a debugger in the HEAD branch :-) There are still some
issues to iron out (maybe I'll make a list of things that are unclear
to me...), but in principle it works. For C++, go to the project options
dialog (Build->Project options), and set the 'main program' in the Misc
tab (yet another thing that the application wizard should set...).
Then you set breakpoints and start running :-)

That depends whether it makes sense to make a completely separate part or
to share as much code as possible with the gdb frontend. If it's just the
gdbcontroller class that is replaced then you can easily make a new part
by creating one of the controller classes in DebuggerPart depending on
some argument given to the constructor - this is how C and C++ are dis-
tinguished in the CppSupport part. Something like

  controller = java? (new JdbController(blah blah)) 
                   : (new GdbController(blah blah));

But in practice it's probably more complicated because you also need
a different parser...
