Jd is a multi-paneled graphical debugger that lets you view
the threads, call stacks, local variables, classes, and source 
files of a running Java program. It is written in pure Java
and will run on any platform for which Sun's Java Development 
Kit (JDK) is available.

Unpackaging the distribution file
---------------------------------

Jd is distributed as a zip file, "jdpkg.zip".

You can unpackage it either by using the "jar" program that 
comes with Sun's JDK:

   jar xvf jdpkg.zip

or by using a public domain version of unzip:

   unzip jdpkg.zip

Either method will yield these files:

   Readme.txt - this file
   jd.bat     - shell script to invoke debugger (windows)
   jd.sh      - shell script to invoke debugger (unix)
   jd.zip     - the debugger
   jd.html    - instructions for installation and use

The file "jd.html" tells you how to install and use jd.
Enjoy!
