** In GUD mode when talking to GDB, C-x C-a C-j "jumps" the program
counter to the specified source line (the one where point is).
+** GUD mode improvements fo jdb:
+
+*** Search for source files using jdb classpath and class
+ information. Fast startup since there is no need to scan all
+ source files up front. There is also no need to create and maintain
+ lists of source directories to scan. Look at `gud-jdb-use-classpath'
+ and `gud-jdb-classpath' customization variables documentation.
+
+*** Supports the standard breakpoint (gud-break, gud-clear)
+ set/clear operations from java source files under the classpath, stack
+ traversal (gud-up, gud-down), and run until current stack finish
+ (gud-finish).
+
+*** Supports new jdb (Java 1.2 and later) in addition to oldjdb
+ (Java 1.1 jdb).
+
+*** The previous method of searching for source files has been
+ preserved in case someone still wants/needs to use it.
+ Set gud-jdb-use-classpath to nil.
+
+ Added Customization Variables
+
+*** gud-jdb-command-name. What command line to use to invoke jdb.
+
+*** gud-jdb-use-classpath. Allows selection of java source file searching
+ method: set to t for new method, nil to scan gud-jdb-directories for
+ java sources (previous method).
+
+*** gud-jdb-directories. List of directories to scan and search for java
+ classes using the original gud-jdb method (if gud-jdb-use-classpath
+ is nil).
+
+ Minor Improvements
+
+*** Do not allow debugger output history variable to grow without bounds.

** hide-ifdef-mode now uses overlays rather than selective-display
to hide its text. This should be mostly transparent but slightly
changes the behavior of motion commands line C-e and C-p.
* window.el (window-body-height): New function.
+2002-01-18 Zoltan Kemenczy <kemenczy@rogers.com>
+
+ * gud.el (easy-mmode-defmap): Enable "Up Stack", "Down Stack", and
+ "Finish Function" menu map entries for jdb mode.
+ (gud-jdb-use-classpath): New customization variable.
+ (gud-jdb-command-name): Add customization.
+ (gud-jdb-classpath, gud-marker-acc-max-length): New variables.
+ (gud-jdb-classpath-string): New variable.
+ (gud-jdb-source-files, gud-jdb-class-source-alist): Add doc strings.
+ (gud-jdb-build-source-files-list): Likewise.
+ (gud-jdb-massage-args): Record any command argument classpath
+ string in `gud-jdb-classpath-string'.
+ (gud-jdb-lowest-stack-level): New function, finds bottom of current
+ java call stack in jdb output.
+ (gud-jdb-find-source-using-classpath, gud-jdb-find-source)
+ (gud-jdb-parse-classpath-string): New functions.
+ (gud-jdb-marker-filter): Search/detect classpath information in
+ jdb's output. marker regexp updated to match oldjdb and jdb output
+ formats. Expand search for source files to include new/old methods
+ using new functions above. Do not allow `gud-marker-acc' to grow
+ without bound.
+ (jdb): Set classpath information (if available) as jdb is started.
+ Change `gud-break' and `gud-remove'
+ to use new %c ("class") escape in format strings. Add
+ `gud-finish', `gud-up', `gud-down' command string functions, and
+ add them to the local menu map. Update `comint-prompt-regexp' for
+ jdb and oldjdb. If attaching to an already running java VM and
+ configured to use classpath, send command to query for classpath,
+ else use previous method for finding and parsing java
+ sources. Set `gud-jdb-find-source' function accordingly.
+ (gud-mode): Doc fix.
+ (gud-format-command): Add support for new %c ("class") escape.
+ (gud-find-class): New function in support of %c escape.
