Description

Name: tb29552			Date: 02/21/2001


java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 2.0fcs-E, mixed mode)

I use a tool created by Karmira for debugging my java programs.  One feature I
really would like is the ability to move the instruction pointer to a different
location (either skipping a line, or reexecuting a previous line).  However,
they tell me that there is no support for this in the debugging interface.
Since good tools are the key to wide usage of a programming language I would
hope that this feature would be supported in the immediate future.
