Use JPDA instead of JDB

[felixfbecker]

JDB is only a reference implementation of JPDA: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/index.html

The source code of JDB is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jpda/examples.html

It might make sense to write the debug adapter completely in Java, implement the VSCode Debug Protocol and use the JPDA API.

Oooooh, will look into this. I'm currently working on the JDB debugger for multi-threaded apps and finishing things up... (very complicated parsing). FYI - Using the JPDA API would definitely be a longer term solution, will start on this asap.

Thanks for the suggestion and the information.
