Nope, but I was thinking of trying to get gdb and Kaffe to cooperate
to let users debug Java applications. The JIT could generate
debugging information for gdb (only when told to do so, of course) and
gdb would probably have to be modified to be able to use that
information. I'm not sure how to get this working with the
interpreter, though. We might also have to introduce Kaffe's
threading primitives to gdb. That would be a very nice project, but
I'm not going to be able to undertake it by myself; anyone willing to
help?
