Greetings,

Some time ago, I reported the fact that the Java debugger in NetBeans
cannot debug dynamically changing code.

(My Kiss <https://kissweb.org> system uses a microservice architecture that
recompiles files at runtime if they change.  NetBeans cannot debug classes
that have changed, meaning you can't develop while the system is running -
a chief benefit of the system.)

I wanted to see if, years later, the problem was fixed, but I ran into
other problems (multiple source roots).

At the time (years ago), I was looking for commercial support to fix that
problem.  Being unable to find a reasonable solution, I just dropped the
whole matter.  I realized two things:

1. The IntelliJ Java debugger works correctly.  (It is the only one.)

2. IntelliJ has an open-source version that has all of the correct code for
its debugger to handle dynamically changing code.

So, if there is interest in fixing the problem, the code is in the
open-source release of IntelliJ.

Thanks.

Blake
