This is only useful if you are debugging a Java program compiled with
`gcj' to native code.  You can't debug interpreted Java programs with
this.  In fact you can't debug interpreted Java programs with gdb at
all.  (You can debug the interpreter, but that is different.)

Once upon a time there was code around to let gdb use JVMDI to debug
interpreted Java programs.  However, due to a logistical snafu, this
code isn't in the main line of gdb and I'm told it would be a lot of
work to reintegrate it.
