/prog/ - Userfriendly debugger?

For Java?

I'm teaching an AP class but they are still kids (~14 years old). No jdb won't do. I want something very simple. Something that doesn't consume time learn.

Something that basically prints a continuously updated trace table, with all the variables, their values and their details.

Teach them giving head instead, that way you secure them valuable skills and a solid position in society.

Learning how to appease the Java debugger gods is a rite of passage, how you distinguish the good crap programmers from the bad crap programmers.

Tell them to put lots of System.Out.PrintLineFoo or whatever Java uses to print out something into their code. Simple and straightforward. I still debug most of my code this way.

instead of a debugger use an IDE that uses UML like BlueJ

BlueJ actually has an extremely reasonable debugger included.

I know an AP CS class taught using BlueJ.

I was taught Java using BlueJ. We then switched to another IDE when we needed to make larger projects.
In my experience BlueJ is an excellent playpen for Java.

Userfriendly debugger?
