No I don't think I've heard of it, but I think we English have a high respect
for German speaker's abilities to invent interesting (and often long!) words.
So I'm happy to relieve myself of angst and go with the zeitgeist, ...and adopt
it :-).

I think it would be a good idea to have an extra gideonprj attribute for the
relative path of the executable/java class.

 Here is the code I checked in - app has the full path, and the baseName()
method is used to extract the java class name:

   if (!sDbgShell.isEmpty())
        *dbgProcess_<<"/bin/sh"<<"-c"<<sDbgShell+" "+config_jdbPath_+
            "jdb "+app.baseName()+"";
    else
        *dbgProcess_<<config_jdbPath_+QString("jdb")<<app.baseName()<<"";

If we had the full path with the 'src' subdir, it could be added to the
$CLASSPATH environment variable, and passed to javac with a '- classpath'
option.
