debugging an applet....

The only way I know to debug an applet is by using the
print stmts (like any other application ofcourse).
Is there any other way or any debugger product etc.....
I am using appletviewer to view the applets.
ps: I searched in the forum, but could hardly find
any responses to a similar qstn.
Any responses/links etc will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Madhav,
Well, there is actually a debugger ( called JDB ) that comes with the JDK... you can make it run on an applet by using the debug option with appletviewer :

However, a word of warning beforehand, JDB is kinda hard to use... Just start it up and see what I mean!
I would also assume that most of the big commercial IDEs would come with some kind of debugger that will work with applets.
HTH,

There are also some IDE's which you can download for free which support debuging of applets. JBuilder from Borland, Visual Age from IBM, Forte for Java from sun ...
