jdb conditional breakpoint

Question

I remote debug my application using JDB, just JDB, no IDEs, is there a way in jdb to set a conditional breakpoint?

eg: stop at MyClass:80 when mystr.equals("abc")

I don't think so. A cumbersome workaround is to sprinkle blocks like this through your code:

if (mystr.equals("abc")) {
    int dummy = 0;     //   <--- set breakpoint here
}
some_code();    // <-- this is where you wanted to set the conditional breakpoint
