Hi Federico,

You are correct, we do not use the Trace class at all.

In the JDT debugger we are sending messages to the attached VM via JDWP and waiting for a response. We have client-side code that represents the current state of the attached VM, but other than that the VM actually handles stepping / resuming, etc.

For more information about the requests we send please see here:

Hi all,
I'm federico Mieres. I'm currently colaborating in the development of a testing tool for java and I'm doing some research about multi thread testing. I've been working with JPDA, and in particular with the Trace class that comes with jdk tools. What I want is to pause a thread execution whenever I need, but of course this class has some limitations. I'm pretty sure Eclipse doesn't use the class I mentioned before. I wonder if anyone could give me some tips about the Eclipse debugger. I'm very interested in knowing how that wonderful 'step into' and 'step over' work.
Thanks in advance!
Federico
