Well, if Cafe's debugging support only acts as a thin wrapper around
jdb, anyone can do that, but it's not exactly something to yell about.

Um, the nature of JavaBeans property editors means the _very_ small
GridBagLayout2 class is a natural way of doing it. Can you perhaps
explain how Caf� does it instead, since it apparently doesn't use a
property editor?

"Yeah, let's integrate with a competing product instead of our own", I
think not.

Well, when I used Caf� (back in 1.5 days), I found it to be _very_
lacking.

I kinda doubt that, even though JBuilder's designer acts badly
sometimes.
