Hello all i want to do test and build simple debugger GUI in c++ that debugging Java as i read from view docs i will have to work with the JVM debugger protocol do any one here have experience with it? where can i learn about it ? Thanks

A: 

The home of the official documentation is here: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/toolsapis/jpda/

There are links there to the APIs and the low-level wire protocols that Java debuggers can use.

The Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI) Reference at Sun would be a good place to start.

You can try looking at the Eclipse Java IDE project source code... That is the best Java debugger I have used... if you can replicate that user experience, it would be phenomenal...
