| <h1>Debugger</h1> |
| <p>The Java development toolkit (JDT) includes a debugger that enables you to detect and diagnose errors in your programs running either locally or remotely.</p> |
| |
| <p>The debugger allows you to control the execution of your program by setting breakpoints, suspending |
| launched programs, stepping through your code, and examining the contents of |
| variables.</p> |
| |
| <p>The debugger has a client/server design so you can debug programs running remotely on other systems in the network as well as programs running locally on your workstation. |
| The debug client runs inside the workbench on your workstation. The debugger server runs on the same system as the program you want to |
| debug. This could be a program launched on your workstation (local debugging) or a |
| program started on a computer that is accessible through a |
| network (remote debugging).</p> |
