GdbPlugin enables debugging programs using the gdb debugger directly from jEdit. The plugin provides the following functionality:

• Setting/Removing/Toggling breakpoints directly in jEdit buffers.
• Controlling program execution (the usual continue/step/next/...) - either using actions from the GdbPlugin menu or using a very simple GUI panel.
• Visualization of breakpoints and the current instruction using icons in the gutter area.
• Viewing/changing values of expressions and automatic variables (function arguments and variables defined inside the function).
• Breakpoint dockable which enables editing breakpoint properties (conditions/skip counts/enabled state) and adding watchpoints.
• Stack trace (normally called "backtrace" in gdb) dockable that enables you to view and quickly jump to the source code of selected stack frames.
• Defining "launch configurations" - i.e. the applications to debug, their command-line arguments etc.
• Two Console plugin shell services: "Program" for communication with the debugged program, and "GDB/MI" for controlling the GDB/MI process.
