Debugging Backwards in Time - Omniscient Debugging I can't believe that I didn't know about this before! ODB allows you to do 'Omniscient Debugging' on Java applications, with or without the original source code. The ODB debugger allows "..developers to step backwards through the execution of a program to determine where and how programming errors occurred. By recording each state change in the target application, it allows the developer to navigate "backwards in time" to see what the values of variables and objects WERE, enormously simplifying the task of debugging programs." One page description of the ODB Article , Debugging Backwards in Time AADEBUG paper on Omniscient Debugging (pdf) ODB User Manual 11:15:53 AM
