True, but using those debugging libraries under Java might not be 
feasible (if they are C# for example), or too much hard work to 
interface (if they are C/C++ based for example). The ideal interface is 
a command-line debugger that can be controlled with some IPC interface 
(stdin/stdout or plain sockets), like GDB and others.
I wonder if any decent PDB debuggers support that (and are free). (I 
haven't looked into that, as for the moment I will focus on GDB support 
only)
