| 7 | <h1>Example JDI Applications</h1> |
| 8 | This example download contains the source code and |
| 9 | documentation for three applications written using |
| 10 | the Java<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> Debug Interface (JDI) |
| 11 | of the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jpda">Java Platform Debugger Architecture</A> (JPDA). |
| 12 | They are provided as educational tools and as starting |
| 13 | points for debugger development. |
| 14 | <P> |
| 15 | In increasing order of complexity: |
| 16 | <UL> |
| 17 | <LI><A HREF="trace.html">Trace</A> displays traces |
| 18 | of program execution. It is very simple (less than 600 lines) |
| 19 | yet uses most of the basic JDI functionality. It is a |
| 20 | good starting point. |
| 21 | <LI><A HREF="jdb.html">Jdb</A> is the command line debugger |
| 22 | distributed with the J2SE SDK. |
| 23 | <LI><A HREF="javadt.html">Javadt</A> is the beginnings of |
| 24 | a GUI debugger. |
| 25 | </UL> |
| 26 | <P> |
| 27 | Trace is in the <code>trace</code> directory. |
| 28 | Jdb and Javadt share a package, and are under the |
| 29 | <code>debug</code> directory. |

| 33 | <H4>Where is JPDA?</H4> |
| 34 | New versions of the J2SE SDK have JPDA included. For |
| 35 | older versions JPDA must be separately downloaded. |
| 36 | <DL> |
| 37 | <DT>SDKs with JPDA included |
| 38 | <DD>J2SE SDK v1.3 and later and J2SE SDK for Linux v1.2.2 |
| 39 | <DT>SDKs requiring JPDA download |
| 40 | <DD>J2SE SDK v1.2.1 and v1.2.2 for Solaris and Windows |
| 41 | <DT>Other SDKs |
| 42 | <DD>Check with vendor |
| 43 | </DL> |
| 44 | <P> |
| 45 | <H4>Set-up for J2SE SDKs with JPDA included</H4> |
| 46 | Your classpath must include the JDI Library code, which is |
| 47 | in <code>tools.jar</code> in the <code>lib</code> directory. |
| 48 | This is needed for both compiling the example code and |
| 49 | executing it. |
| 50 | <p> |
| 51 | <H4>Set-up for J2SE SDKs without JPDA - Solaris</H4> |
| 52 | Download JPDA v1.0 from |
| 53 | <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jpda">http://java.sun.com/products/jpda</A>. Follow the |
| 54 | <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/products/jpda/installinst.html">Installation Instructions</A> |
| 55 | found there. Pay particular attention to setting the library |
| 56 | path. |
| 57 | <P> |
| 58 | Your classpath must include the JDI Library code, which is |
