Java Debugging in Eclipse

David,

As I understand it, what you are talking about is being able to change code
while in the debugger and have it take effect immediately?  This has been
discussed in the Eclipse newsgroup.  Apparently, VAJ does some custom hacks
to the JVM to have this feature.  This is one of the many reasons why VAJ
is always so far behind on the Java level it supports.

Apparently there are changes in the upcoming 1.4 version of the JDK that
will allow tools to use this feature.  You can use the beta of this JDK
today with Eclipse/WSAD and apparently the feature works to some degree,
although I believe there are some bugs.  I have not personally tried it.

I would recommend you join the Eclipse newsgroup and search the archives,
just search for "hotswap".

Hope this helps.

Mark
