Hi list,
in my local copy of ABCL I broke some ANSI tests related to packages and that's not good. I'm lazy so I'm asking here: does someone have a ready recipe to debug the ANSI tests, in particular to place breakpoints inside ABCL's Java code while it is executing the tests? In the minute or so I spent thinking about it before getting lazy, I couldn't figure out how to pass the jdwp incantation to the JVM launched by Ant when testing.
As for setting a breakpoint in the source automatically, I think that would be trés cool, but have no practical suggestions. I would be very interested in sketching up an abstraction for this to start figuring out how do this.
As for invoking JVM with JDWP messages, I am not exactly sure either, but the [`abcl.build.debug.jpda` ant target][1] shows how to do the simpler task of forking a JVM configured to communicate to a JPDA client which I think is the first step in getting to JDWP.

Interested in hearing further progress from your side.
