This debugger used stdin and stdout to read and write to the standard Java jdb 
command line debugger. However, jdb is a complete basket case because if you 
have a nested class, you are supposed to set breakpoints with a line number 
relative to the line number start of the nested class. The .class files don't 
contain the start line number of nested classes though, and so it was 
impossible to get it to work properly. So jpda (is this propriotory?) or a 
gcj/gdb front end are the only options - we've demonstrated that jdb doesn't 
work in KDevelop.
