Re: debugger stepping into Java from RPG

[Scott Klement <wdsci-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It *is* possible to step into Java from RPG, just not supported (AFIAK). 
Check out the message from Barbara Morris in the following thread:

Here's what I've noted (not sure exactly how true it is, but it's what 
worked for me)

a) Java code has to be compiled with -g to have debugging symbols.
b) Java code has to be run through CRTJVAPGM
c) the Java code has to already be loaded into the JVM.  That means you 
can't step into the first method you call, you have to wait til the 
second call when the JVM is already started, and the class is already 
loaded.
d) It doesn't work from the same job.  You have to STRSRVJOB/STRDBG if 
working from the green screen.  From GUI it shouldn't matter, since 
you're automatically in a separate job :)

Anyway... it's tricky, and unsupported but possible...
