This has been one of the bigger features missing from mobile development from J2ME and even BREW. J2ME has had some advancement in this area for a few months now, and BREW will catch up as on-handset debugging was announcement at the developer converence back in June. The JBlend debugging solution provides developers with two distinct features: support for KVM Debug Wire Protocol (KDWP) and a proxy that allows for communication between the phone and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The first, KDWP support, enables break point setting, variable modification, heap space viewing, and the ability to step through code, all in real-time. The second feature, a proxy that translates between Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) and KDWP, serves to resolve the differences between the two protocols and therefore, communicate to the IDE via JDWP. Both features enable developers to gain real-time information directly from the device -- a true advantage over debugging with a standard emulator.
