Description William Leonard 2008-05-19 17:11:57 UTC 
When using the JRuby debugger, one would naturally want to step from their Ruby code, to their Java code, and back.
Comment 1 Martin Krauskopf 2008-05-19 17:55:53 UTC 
Yes, I know. Just do not know how to do this. Would have to cooperate with the Java debugger. I'll need to talk about
this with Java Debugger team. Likely there are more important features for 6.5, so rather for after-6.5 release.
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2008-09-15 08:57:38 UTC 
Note for me: likely just running JRuby's JVM in debug-mode with Ruby tracing turned on, then creating Java debug session
connection to the JVM, subsequently Ruby debug session to the (J)Ruby should work - only when the Java cluster is
available, which is natural prerequisites when wanting to debug Ruby/Java at once.

Just adding here a link to Martin's blog post about Ruby <-> Java debugging, there is some limited support for it:
