If you want a powerful debugger with a crappy interface that is widespread (and programming java) try jdb. It comes with the freaking jdk tool chain so it is basically everywhere, however, gdb can't hold a candle to the horrible experience it is to use jdb without a graphical frontend. The documentation is about a page and a half, that is all, classes must be fully qualified with packages (which can have dozens of levels) in all commands, and it does not use readline for input!!! No left or right arrow to move the cursor! /rant
