I found the Eclipse debugger both unobtrusive and powerful, but eclipse if
not everyones cup of tea.

In pioneer days they used oxen for heavy pulling, and when one ox
couldn't budge a log, they didn't try to grow a larger ox. We shouldn't
be trying for bigger computers, but for more systems of computers.

I like Eclipse but often use JCreator because I find it easier and it's
small and fast. I use Eclipse for debugging though.

JCreator appears to be a windows-only product (.exe installer)

I like free stuff. I have tried IntelliJ though not in any great depth.
I don't have that sort of money to spend on an IDE. I'd more likely
just use a simple text editor with syntax highlighting. I recently
re-discovered NetBeans. I had been a Forte user, years ago. I got into
using JBuilder, but that's really way too expensive. I develop software
at home on a mac and so far I've been happy with the general
responsiveness and performance of NetBeans, though I prefer to use the
Metal look and feel as the default. Overall I had the feeling that
NetBeans was more intuitive.

But he never specified that in the original post...

I recently started using NetBeans 4.1 and I have been surprised at
useful and fun to use it is. It does include a debugger. I have used
this a little. It was exceptionally easy to get started with. I've been
using the Junit integrated testing facilities and am building JSP
applications using the bundled Tomcat server. It sure looks like Sun
has really done something to counter the Eclipse movement!

You can try JSwat (http://jswat.sourceforge.net/). It is a standalone
debugger.

Thanks. I will try.
For IDEs, they force me to setup a project. The project is too smart. I
do not
need it. I just want a debugger.
