I set up Geany on Ubuntu - nice! It uses javac to compile java programs (not ghcc) and works very well. I have the debugger installed and the debug window works. However, I need some help in actually being able to debug a java program. So some questions:
Do I need to define any changes to the compile menu? If so, what?
I have used debuggers in other languages, but they all have debug
menus in the ide (Watch, Step, Step-Over, etc). Any instructions on using the debugger?
The "Scope" plugin has a toolbar and probably menu items with such actions.
It occurs to me that this question has been asked before, so someone may have written something that would be helpful. If so, feel free to send me a link.
Assuming you're referring to any of the (3) debugger plugins in Geany-Plugins, they're all front-ends for the GNU Debugger (gdb) and so you would require to compile the code with GCJ[0]. That said, I'm not sure any of the debugger plugins have been tested to debug Java. If you get it working, it would be useful for others if you posted instructions on the wiki[1].
