Hi, I made a simple java program and I'm having a hard time debugging it.
Is there a good program I can use to debug my program like in Visual Studio
where I can trace my steps and make breakpoints, watch variables, etc

I tried using Jcreator 2.5 pro, but I'm getting errors that I dont
understand

jdb? It ships with the JDK, so you should have it. Its not a wonderful
all singing all dancing GUI, but it does work.

jSwat seems to be pretty good at the singing and dancing bit :-)
